Lucas Oil Stadium via Google Maps
What: Google Maps has done it again!!! Whether you are a football fan or not, this is a truly amazing showcase of Google's persistent drive to make the most elaborate collection of maps. You can see what it is like to make your way down the tunnel. Maybe you would rather check out the locker room or even see the quarterback suite. Make sure to check out the whole collection of the Lucas Oil Stadium.
Techtastic Integration
So you may be asking how is this something that I can integrate into my classroom. Want to give students an inside perspective on a story or research paper? Most students won't have a chance to experience a professional football game. They can watch the games on T.V. or even see pictures in magazines but being able to manipulate their virtual experience in real time is priceless. If you are looking for a way to integrate this into math, you can take a screen shot of the stadium and use Skitch to point out geometrical shapes or even patterns. If you have a SMART Board, you can use the screen capture tool instead and use your markers to do the same as Skitch.

Shred the Slopes in Google Maps
Techtastic Integration
You may be thinking how is this relevant into my own teaching? How can I implement run and lift maps into my daily practices. You can have students use the map scale to determine the longest ski run, shortest ski run, and the median of the ski runs. Students could figure out the ratio of beginner runs to expert runs.
What are your ideas for using these new run and lift maps in your classroom?
