Google Maps Mania: 50 Things to do with Google Maps Mashups

If you like to play with Google Maps, here’s 50 things you can do!

Here’s an idea:

For social studies research, have students do a mashup of event or people locations.  For example, if they’re researching biographies for Black History month, create a mashup to show locations of: where inventions were created, famous African-Americans were born, events in Black history took place, etc..

Use the maps to find distance between events in history.

If you’ve seen somethign like this already done, please let me know.  If I find an easy explanation of creating a mashup, I’l let you know.
