This image above could be used in a classroom for any mapping exercises of the world. The image is blank and not labelled giving the students a clean start to be more creative. The teacher also has the ability to change or edit activities that could use this blank map more then once or for a particular activity. Teacher can get students to label places they know on the maps and work together to find as many as possible. Using images in a classroom can create a new way of students seeing things and comprehending them. For example the amounts of places that are in the world and how big it actually is. This can enhance the comprehension of many topics to a student by getting them to see beyond what they know. A simple image can to one person mean nothing but to another mean the world and can simulate creativity and individual critical thinking from each student giving a wide range of ideas and thoughts about a single image. In a geography lesson you could give each student a map of the world and show them which countries go where. Or in a lesson where mapping is involved you could set up an interactive white board and use Google maps to give your students a more in depth look at countries, distance, size, land mass. You can also using google maps get students to plan a trip from on country to another finding how fair it would be from one destination to another.
