Google Maps Lesson Plan

I focused on my teachable minor for this assignment, health education.  I created a map of my hometown and marked several different community resources for health issues.  In a lesson plan, students could create a map of their hometown or an area that is assigned to them and mark similar community resources.  They could also be broken down into the groups of health education.  For example, one group could be assigned to sexual health.  This group could mark all of the OBGYN offices in town as well as childbirth centers, hospitals, health clinics, health departments, free information centers, counselors, etc.  Another group may be assigned tobacco use and mark down similar resources but focused on tobacco use (smoking cessation). The students could make maps in groups or individually.  This would be a great assignment because it would make the students more aware of resources in their communities and would create an awareness for the ADVOCACY part of health education.
