Description of Tool:
"Google Maps" is a tool available through the mega-site, Google.com. "Google Maps" makes available not only digital representations of maps, but also real life satellite-photography-maps and even "street view" maps. "Google Maps" allows you to look up individual addresses or get directions from one location to another. In fact, if you are planning a road trip (or any kind of travel that would include multiple stops), on "Google Maps" you are able to request and receive directions from multiple locations to multiple locations in the order in which you wish to travel to them.

How does tool apply to your curricular area?
In an educational arena, "Google Maps" would make it easier to find opportunities and locations for the most efficient and lucrative field trips for individual subjects and course paths.

Where does tool fit in Digital Blooms and why?
"Google Maps" fits into Digital Blooms under both "remembering" and "analyzing." It fits under "remembering" because of the extensive data it must keep on file. It must "analyze", however, to discover the most efficient routes from one location to another.
