Google Maps

I liked this site. I enjoyed looking at the Mashups! I found a lot of info on colleges. My daughter was accepted to Williams in Massachusetts and Reed in Oregon, on the best list, and to Mount Holyoke in Massachusettes, where she went to school, was on the most beautiful campuses map. We teach about Skagit Valley and use a map unit to do it. In fact, it's a third grade performance task. I created a map to help teach my students. I'm hoping that they can add their own text to help them study. They can start with a map and mark locations on the map. I was unsuccessful in adding a picture, but I see that you can click on the more button and select photos and it puts them on the map. I checked it out and they really are photos from that general location. Although they may not be something you'd want them to focus on! I know this is a site students can use for many science and social studies activities, such as looking at Google Earth and such.
