Google Maps

ICT

• The 5 year old student has learned how to use a digital map to explore different locations and landmarks, understanding the concept of navigation and directions.
• Through Google Maps, the student has grasped the idea of using technology for real-time information and understanding how the digital world can assist in everyday activities.
• Using Google Maps, the student has learned basic technology skills such as tapping, swiping, and using a search bar to find specific locations or places of interest.

For continued development, encourage the 5 year old to use Google Maps to plan imaginary trips to magical lands or create a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood by finding specific locations. This activity can also extend with role-playing as a tour guide, where the student can explain different locations virtually to family members or friends.
