View from my Window Map Activity
🗺The Mapping Sheets add-on for Google Sheets is a powerful tool to see data. Create a Google Form to collect data from around the world and let Mapping Sheets help you and your students visualize the data. In this activity, I asked participants to take a picture from their window and include their location. Mapping Sheets placed this data automatically on a map. Students can click on a pin to see views from all over the world.
