Help for Homework, Presentations, and Travel
Are you having trouble with your social studies or history homework? Do you need to make a dynamic international presentation? Is your sports team traveling soon? Are you geographically challenged and just want to do something about it? Then you will need a map.“Maps are expensive,” you say. Go online.
“Too hard to find,” you retort. Not when you have a list of handy sites, bookmark the following locations in your browser.
Just five simple steps will place the map on your computer for use in homework documents, Powerpoint presentations, or whatever you want to create.
1. Find the map you need.
2. Right click your mouse.
3. Select the option to SAVE PICTURE AS.
4. Choose where on your computer you want to save the map.
5. Click the SAVE button.
Always check the copyright information and follow directions provided on the website from which you wish to copy the map. It is okay to use maps for educational purposes as long as you destroy the files after the project is graded (i.e.: Teach Act). You may use maps for personal purposes, as that is their original intent. Use in professional presentations requires permission from the copyright holder.
