This is such an interactive resource. It is such a good way to engage students and since it is all digital it is an easy to prep and use.

Students can no longer access Google Maps. Is there a way to unlink the map and just have the drop down menu for them to access the information without the map.
This was a great resource until this!
Ashley Mikkelsen –
Hey! Unfortunately all of the information is stored on the map itself. A workaround I’ve found in the past is turning it into a whole class activity where the teacher projects the map and you navigate it together instead. I hope that helps!

I was excited to use this resource but my school did not support google map app. I had to change the acivitiy a bit. A few of my students were able to access the map on their phones but it was a bit difficult to work around. I’m hoping I can use this next year.
