Google Tour Builder is an online, free, storytelling and mapping tool which allows students to create and share information about places around the world. Using Google maps students can create a ‘tour’ of a series of places regarding a chosen subject. Students can integrate photos, text and videos into each chosen location (shown by a dropped pin). Once edited students can ‘play’ their mapping tour for an audience, and the tour will move users and viewers from location to location. The ease of use for tour builder makes it an ideal starting place for younger students to learn about not only geographic information systems but computer mapping systems, collecting and recording data and interpreting it to make generalisations.
