Collaborative Activity Idea: Create A Multi-Media Map

 * Create a new custom map and invite other participants as collaborators.
 * Add a marker for your site (and any other relevant locations).
 * Add additional markers for important buildings or areas at your site.
 * Embed text and media into the markers, including:
 * Text
 * Links
 * Images
 * Video (if applicable)
 * Other, such as a Google Doc, Form, or Presentation
 * Share what you've done with the group.
 * OPTIONAL Alternative Activity: "My Favorite Places" map for each participant.
