I did a session today at our Teachers’ Convention called a few of my favourite things. It sounds a bit narcisstic which it may have been. I attended a similar session at FETC so I certainly borrowed the idea but included many of the tools that I’ve found very helpful over the past while. One of the tools I shared was Microsoft’s Mappoint site. I think it’s an excellent site for finding directions and general mapping. Google has released something called Google maps. It’s a much more interactive site but seems weak as far as Canadian maps are concerned.
Using Bloglines which is my RSS news reader, I was looking at Rick Schwier’s blog and he mentioned Google maps. In one of his comments Alec Couros pointed out a site called Map24. I check it out and he’s right, it’s very good and extremely interactive. I encourage you to have a look.
Being able to tap into the research, thoughts and ideas of others makes you understand the power of blogs and RSS.
