Using Maps

Maps can be used for geography and history lesson and are a great tool to learn about people and places in the world. When I was younger they were an important tool so that you could drive to where you wanted to go without getting lost! Now, with so much technology at our hands, maps aren’t as necessary as they once were, but it is an important skill to learn about. Have you ever been on a road trip where there was no Wi-Fi signal?
