Week 8 - GIS/Mapping

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=103237692907059338612.000493b2f6851f3d82082&ll=40.613952,-2.197266&spn=12.136728,28.081055&z=5

As a Spanish teacher, I've had my students learn about all the Spanish-speaking countries in the world.  An assignment that the students would have to do is make a map of their country.  After assigning each student a different country, I would have them develop a map of the famous places that are within that Spanish-speaking country.  They would mark them and be able to explain a little about each place.  I chose Spain as an example. 

They would give a historical view of each location and how the places and buildings that they chose fit in with that country's history.  Each would need to include at least 5-7 places with at least 2-3 landmarks at each place.  I would give extra credit for photos of each location.  They would have to put their map on their blog where I could examine what they had done.
