Reflection: This matrix helped me develop ideas of how to better incorporate different Google Treks into the classroom and build the students
knowledge of the different subjects. I did struggle a little bit with some of the subjects and how to add a Google Trek to them. I do think that
Google Treks are a great way to help teach certain subjects but I need to play with Google Treks a little bit more to get a better understanding
of them for subjects such as math and some science activities. I think that Google Treks add an extra element to the lessons because they are
so visual and I think that helps build a better understand of the subject being taught. I think there are also a lot of ways you can integrate
other subjects into a lesson. I am a little unsure if I used all the categories in the right way by how I filled them out but I do think that the more
I do the different matrixes, the more comfortable I am getting. I feel that I will eventually use Google Trek in my classroom to teacher different
lessons. I think Google Treks are fun and they are a great way to teach a subject in another way.
