The maps are licensed for free download and reuse by teachers and students. The collection is organized by continent and country. The US category is further broken down and organized by state and by historical theme. Some of the maps in this collection are excellent maps to download and layer over Google Earth and Google Maps for the purpose of showing current maps and historic maps in the same screen. Learn how to do that during Tuesday's webinar about Google Earth, Google Maps, and virtual tour creator. Applications for Education Historical maps can be very useful in helping students to get a better sense of an entire historical event or story. These maps could be used as a supplement to a history lesson or as the beginning of an inquiry-based lesson. These maps could also be used as overlay images in Google Earth files that students develop.

Join Me on Tuesday at 4pm for a Webinar on Google Earth, Maps, and VR Tours Feedback, Focus, and Cars - The Week in Review   • Email to a friend • SciShow Kids Answers "Why Do Animals Have Tails?" My daughters and my dogs' tails have a close relationship. Sometimes that relationship is tested by a quick grab of a tail and sometimes tested by a swishing tail to the face. But no matter what, my dogs always wag their tails when we come home. That, of course, begs the question, "why do animals have tails?" SciShow Kids has the answer to that question in their latest video. The video explains how some animals use their tails to communicate and some use them for balance. The video also explains why humans don't need tails.   This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachersif you see it elsewhere, it has been used without permission.               Related Stories Soft Fruit, Mold, and Sour Milk - A Lesson on Food Safety Monster Heart Medic - A Game for Learning About Heart Health Educational Games for Elementary School Science Lessons   • Email to a friend • Join Me on Tuesday at 4pm for a Webinar on Google Earth, Maps, and VR Tours Tomorrow, July 24th, at 4pm Eastern Time I am hosting a Practical Ed Tech webinar all about Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google's VR Tour Creator.

About this post: The sale of my professional development online courses and my on-site professional development services provides the funding to keep Free Technology for Teachers running. The resources that I feature in my online courses and webinars are free. However, there is a significant cost associated with creating, hosting, and managing the courses and webinars which is why I am not able to provide them for free.   This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachersif you see it elsewhere, it has been used without permission.               Related Stories A Great Example of Sharing Stories Through Google's My Maps How to Create an Animated GIF An Easy Way to Find Images for Google Slides Presentations   • Email to a friend • More Recent Articles Feedback, Focus, and Cars - The Week in Review How to Create an Animated GIF Say Goodbye to Old Google Forms An Easy Way to Find Images for Google Slides Presentations ClassTag's Parent-Teacher Engagement Contest Will Award $10,000 for Classroom Supplies (Kind of)
