Google Map Project Basic Research & Presentation

Today you will create a Single-Slide using Google Slides and SHARE it with me for credit.  I want to make sure you know how to use the SNIPPING TOOL, and other applications to create a simple map that you can email, share, or print.

GOOGLE MAP PICTURE PROJECT:

Students must Log-In to Google and Open Google Drive.  Students will open another TAB on their browser and go to Google Maps.  Using the Snippet Tool on Windows-Based computers, or the Print-Screen-Funtion, students will create a picture of a fun place to go.  They will open Microsoft PowerPoint on their Computer and copy the picture into a single-slide.  They will save this Presentation to their desktop.  Once saved, they will go on to Google Drive and create a FILE.  They will upload both the Powerpoint Presentation and the Picture to this Google Drive File.  Once they have uploaded their document and picture to Google Drive, they must SHARE the file with Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.  See instructions below for specific information:
