Let’s talk about maps!!! We have some cool maps in OER Project courses (that have superzoom capabilities). How do you use maps with your students and why do you use them that way? Would love to hear about strategies and the way you incorporate maps into your classrooms! 
How do you use maps in your classroom?

What a really creative way of pre-testing, Anne !
For my 9th graders, we always start with a "pre-test" and have students draw maps from memory just on a white sheet of paper, they take a picture and upload it. After we do mental maps through the year, and they compare their end-of-the-year maps with their very first.
This is everything we put on the map by the end of the year (mental map - drawn from memory). For AP World, our first maps are outside with sidewalk chalk - we'll be doing that next week, and hoping for good weather and no rain! (If there's rain, I have small white boards for each student to draw their first maps).
