Other
Reflection: After doing a google treck myself, I think it is a great source for students to use. It is a different way for students to
provide research, and it allows them to be creative. There are not as many guidelines, because the students have the freedom to
make their map however they want. I also like google treck because there are so many ways to use it for every subject area.
Primary sources are also very important because it gives students information first hand. Sometimes looking or reading
information that comes from a primary source gives students a whole new look on events or people. It can also be a more
interesting way to gain information because it is not just reading facts out of a textbook.
