Other
Reflection:
Google Trek is easy to implement into most content areas. The activities are varied and can be used by teachers and students alike. I really appreciate Google
Trek because it allows students to explore the world around them. Primary sources are also an excellent way to tie in Google Trek. I really like my idea for
documenting and traveling based off someone elses experiences. It provides context and allows students to make connections to our own world that we live.
