I like how you have incorporated technology into your classroom. Students love to use the computer and you have found an easy way to allow them too. This is a really neat lesson.

It is hard enough keeping it together in a classroom. I imagine the map was very handy. It allowed you to see the present condition of the area. Even if you look at a city’s website, the streets sometimes look nicer than they truly are. The pictures probably helped to make the best decision on what streets to choose. It is good that your students were able to go on a trail for about an hour. It is good when things are mixed up a little bit. Students need to see and be in different settings too. It is all part of the learning experience. It is good to take out guesswork when you are responsible for 30 students especially outside of a classroom.

A way to relive it later would be to set up a flyover on Google Earth - have it run automatically swooping in from place to place. I saw this done when a teacher introduced himeself - where he was born, went to school, travlled etc and it grabbed everyone's attention. Have done it myself too - it's a great party trick...
