No matter the curriculum area, Google geo tools offer amazing opportunities to enhance and extend the options for student learning.

Google MyMaps can be used to create your own customised geodatasets. Students can create maps for a huge range of learning purposes by adding markers and pins to maps. They can also start with data and import it onto a map for deeper analysis and to more easily see patterns in the data.
