• Reading Treks
  TeachersFirst Reading Treks are a way of creating a virtual field trip of resource about a piece of literature or text using the My Maps feature of Google Maps. Engaging and immersing readers in a story with maps and their pop-ups that have interesting information about the “stop” is a powerful tool! TeachersFirst knows that
  many teachers have limited time to build such a literature experience on their own. To that end, TeachersFirst offers this growing collection of Reading Treks to help teachers seeking to integrate technology in their K12 classrooms.
