My maps are used all the time in my social studies classroom! However, the maps that I possess are woefully out of date. I hate giving misinformation to my students or try to have them understand where a country is now, when the borders are incorrect. When we are discussing the sale and distance, rolling down the map gives an example of the vast amount miles there are between our city and London, Paris, Rome or Kiev. Looking at the map and finding out where their families come from and how they got to United States is always a joy. Learning cardinal directions, geography and and various other map skills on a large map, make distances come alive with my children. Showing them, rather than telling them make all the difference! Having a physical map that is current is essential in my classroom! If they aren't able to afford the actual travel, why can't they at least know where they want to go?
