Describe A Lesson Plan Using Google Maps for Students

The lesson that I would like to provide to my students is for them to know where three radio stations are located in the city of Detroit, Michigan using Google Maps. After students decide what stations air in Detroit, they will be asked to create a Google Map displaying those locations and sharing with classmates. Once student are able to demonstrate that they are able to find three radio stations that broadcast from Detroit, they will find out how much time does it take to get to the radio station from the school.  The objective is to allow the students to take on adventures that they will have never experience without the instructional technology. In other words, the instructor is familiarizing the students with how tangible it is to pursue careers in the business of radio.


 Once students have selected three radio stations in Detroit they will begin following the step by step instruction packet that describes to the students how to set up a Google Account if they don’t already have a Gmail account. Once students successfully set up a Gmail account, they will share with me their maps of the 3 radio stations in Detroit that they selected. The instructor will also have students indicate the type of format organization/school, station identification along with the location of each chosen radio station.  Upon completion students will choose what radio station they would like to take a field trip too for further studies by the most votes.
