Google Maps

Using Google Docs and Google Maps I created an itinerary with an embedded map (see below) for a field trip for a high school entrepreneurship class that takes the class on a day-long trip to the downtown area of Elkins, WV. There they will briefly meet with executives, managers, and other business men and women to get a real-life look at how the concepts they have been studying in class apply in the business world.

I think that if possible teachers should encourage field trips in their class to really help bring the classroom to life. These tools (Google Maps and Google Docs) are excellent resources that help simplify the task of arranging such an outing.
