A5 point out it's easy to find anywhere on google maps but memory of regions/major countries helps when its not available #worldgeochat

A Love of Learning starts with maps (for me) #worldgeochat

#worldgeochat a5 Maps use to be the base for all EVERYTHING. Now, so often, they're an afterthought in education. But maps made me love SS.

A5 can use maps to pin locations of events& how investigate how events (i.e. protests) diffuse through map pins #worldgeochat
