Using Google Maps to Virtually Visit and Tour Colleges

Today is college/career t-shirt day in the district! We took advantage of this day to start discussing colleges and careers. We used Google Maps to virtually visit and tour colleges! I loved hearing conversations about which schools students were visiting and what careers they were thinking of. Some students had to utilize Google Search in order to find a college that fit the career they were thinking of. I even noticed one student writing a list of colleges where he could major in mechanical engineering! He wanted to take it home to do more research. Two students asked to come in at recess so they could further explore Berklee School of Music in Boston. A future firefighter spent time exploring the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy.
