I posted a link to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/\">My Google Maps<\/a> on Google classroom and pointed out that students can always get back to any maps they create by using that link. On the website, we clicked the red &#8220;Create new map&#8221; button and titled it &#8220;Indian Map.&#8221; I explained that they would watch me make a marker first, then we would make one together, and finally, they would create some by themselves. First I made a sample marker on Laburnum Elementary to show them how to add a marker, change the color and style of the marker, and add text and images. Next each student clicked the marker button on their own map and placed a marker where the Powhatan Indians lived in Virginia. We titled it &#8220;Eastern Woodlands&#8221; and wrote a complete sentence about the Powhatan Indians. After pressing the blue &#8220;Save&#8221; button, we clicked the camera button to add a photo.  Since typing the name of the tribe didn&#8217;t usually provide good results, I suggested that they could search for the environment (woodlands), homes (long houses), animals (deer), modes of transportation (canoe), etc. Then I showed them how to customize the marker icon using the paint bucket button. Now it was up to them to create markers showing where the Lakota and Pueblo Indians lived. I wrote a word bank on the board for them to use (Great Plains, Southwest Desert, buffalo, bison, teepees, tipis, adobe, multi-story terraced buildings, etc). When the students were finished with their maps, we clicked the &#8220;Share&#8221; button and changed the privacy to &#8220;Anyone with the link.&#8221; We copied the link to our map and posted it on Google classroom for our classmates to see.
