Road To Bali...No wait...It's York

I spent the morning playing with Google Maps.  I didn't really know what to map out so I mapped out a trip I recently took to my hometown.  I choose this because there are several geological and historical points of interest along the road.

Here is the itinerary for this trip.

This is a really cool tool.  I have used it before but with Bing Maps.  If you need to show historical, geological, etc.  road view is an awesome way to do it.  Check out the "Colorful House" on my map in road view.  You will be able to see why we call it the "Colorful House."

As for ISTE-NETS-T standards, this exercise promotes Standards 1 and 2.  A virtual field trip will inspire learning a creativity.  Maybe even inspire students to actually physically go the places explored in the virtual field trips.  The exercise is a unique and low cost way to explore locations which is a new and innovative way to enhance learning experiences.
