So I can … make geographic connections.

I know I understand when … I can complete a Google Form and make connections to a choice article.

We do maps using atlases and other resources.

I am our pilot program, and this is just another great example why we need to keep using Newsela with our students, giving it depth and it is so much more than just reading skills!

Can you set that map up as almost a tour of an area, and let the students self direct learning? Linking articles and websites? Sorry my mind is blown.

I'm actually presenting an Meetup session on NewsELA to my colleagues tomorrow-- I'll be sure to mention what I've learned tonight!
I will also consider changing out the paper map activity I have planned for next week.... maybe we'll try this instead!
And I'll definitely investigate both Padlet and MyMaps some more-- this is my first time using either of them!

Sorry, I missed it - are those extensions for Google MyMaps that allow you to see the distance between places, etc?

Maybe not tomorrow, but....I want to have my students do this activity but also have them read one more article that one of their classmates chose.  Tomorrow I am going to tell my team about this!

I'd like to explore this idea more over spring break when I have more time to plan and set  it up.  We are learning about government right now so maybe we could map the places we discuss.... lots of possibilities.  My kids are obsessed over Toys R Us closing.  Maybe we could just map some of the stores outside the US that are staying open.

- my maps - had no idea.
- want to play around with creating a map with embedded links and photos to provide to students, in addition to this approach where students will be driving the bus more on content - I'm thinking this version you modeled could be awesome at start of semester/year when going to study all over the world over the course of the semester.
- also had never used padlet - thought that only worked on google classroom or the like. Had no idea I could just access it directly.

DIdn't know this was even an option!  Will use as we start our next unit in Ancient Civilizations
