Some online mapping tools provide a great way to tell stories. Whether you are going on a road trip, documenting past travels, or recreating a historic event, using a location with your works is a great way to share your story with others. See some examples of these tools below.

After reading Irena's Children a biography about the life of an amazing woman, Irena Sendler. Ireand along with her network of friends took big risks to smuggle upwards of 2,500 Jewish children and infants out of the ghetto into safety. Most of these children never saw their real parents again. They may not even know who their real parents were.
Locations identified in this map were mentioned throughout the book. Many of these places were where Irena and her friends worked to help families bring their children to safety.
My Maps provides a powerful tool for retelling a story and bringing it to life. Add text, images, videos and links to help retell a story. This is just one of many ways mapping can help to tell a story.
As a bonus, I was fortunate to visit Warsaw this summer. I had the chance to visit and pay respects to this amazing woman's grave site.
Oh the Places....

See where former Groton-Dunstable Regional High School students went to college.
This map was built by extracting data from our Naviance system. Of course we don't want too share too much information so student names are not included, just college choices and their location.
