Day 13 Connected Educator Month: Map Yourself

Emerging technologies make it easier than ever to connect, collaborate, and learn together with others around the world. In this fun activity, you’ll add yourself to a collaborative Google map along with hundreds of other connected educators around the globe! (I used the sail boat placemark at Walled Lake!)

• Log into your Google account.
• Click here to access the collaborative map.
• Click on the Edit button at the top left. You will be able to see the Edit button only if you are logged in with your Google or Gmail account.
• Use the + and – tool to zoom in or out and find your location. Use the compass rose to move north, south, east, or west. Tools are in the upper left-hand corner of the map.
• Click on the blue “Add a placemark” pin symbol at the top of the map.
• Drag it to your location and click on your city or town.
• Edit the Place Information box by adding your name and a description. Click on OK.
• Save your changes.
• Click on Done in the left-hand column of the screen.
• Your name should appear in the list in the left-hand column.
