Google’s geography tools help us interact with content in ways we used to dream about. Google Maps & Earth have been used in classrooms all over the world to help better understand how we can relate ourselves on a more global stage. Street view and off-road field trips help us experience places that we’ve never been. We will talk about the latest updates to Google’s classroom geo tools, and dive into creating interactive presentations on the cloud-based tool Google Maps Engine.
