Google Maps Lesson

I thought that using Google Maps in our lesson today was good, but I found that I didn't really use the small typed summary that was on the webpage, as I just listened by ear to what Mr. Boyle was telling us and taking notes, because I couldn't read what it said. I liked seeing where these events that we're talking about are today and what it currently looks like. In no other classes, have I had the oppurtunity to see the places we've talked about in class, in the present. Obviously we don't usually get the chance to see the places in real life, so Google Maps is the next best thing. I thought it was interesting to see the exact route the soldiers marched, and it's really weird to think that we live so close to it, we're actually really lucky to be surrounded by so much history.
