Fifth tool: Situating tool
I came to know that situating tools
is application that lay the students in the environment where it involves a
context and the occurrence of a situation.
We have to integrate situating tool
when a certain real-life experience is important or difficult to attain.
How to integrate google map to teach
social studies on the topic Thimphu Dzong
Students those are far from Thimphu
and who didn’t reach to Thimphu will face difficult to study learn.So, in this case i will use google map to teach about Thimphu dzong as using the
google map students will get clear picture of Thimphu dzong which accelerate them to
learn and explore more on the topic. Using the google map students will able to find exact location of dzong. They can also find latitude and longitude, area, perimeter and also able to see street view of the dzong using google map.

Using google map will
help teachers and students explore, create, and collaborate with mapping tools.
First it is very important for the teacher to teach how to use the google map
for the students and give hand on practice to explore and learn themselves to
use google map. Using the google map students will get the information about dzong within short duration of time.
If get a chance to teach in upper primary students, I will use google map to teach maximum topic from social studies like time calculation, rivers, places, world map, lake, boundary and etc.., This are the topics that maximum students fails to understand the concept. All the students will learn better and understand easily If we let the students to explore using google map.
It is possible to teach a lesson using google map because maximum people in our country are using phone. We can easily download the google map app from phone and we can use easily.
Thank You
