My Reflection on Google Map as a Situating tool.
Google company offers numerous ways that we can use to implement in our teaching. The only thing is that the teacher has limited knowledge on it and at the same time, Bhutan being a developing country, the resources like computers and internet connectivity are not very feasible within the country.
I had a preconceived notion that google map is just used to locate the places around the globe. I never thought that it can be incorporated in teaching sessions where it can be used to teach about locations, distances between two locations, mathematics calculation of area and perimeters and time between two places.
I have done this activity to measure the area of the football ground of Paro College of Education. I found it interesting and lively to measure the area of the football ground online. It is very effective and moreover, I feel students will like to do it online because it's hand-on experience for them. Similar types of activities can be conducted with the student in different subjects like History, Mathematics and Geography.
Yes rinzin, i im also new to google maps and i really like the features of google map.
