Selecting maps in geteach.com

There are two ways to achieve the same outcome—buttons at the top and bottom right of each panel.

Interesting to watch which path the students choose when using the tool. #Geogchat #geographyteacher #geography #geosky #edusky

Independently toggling labels and roads On/Off was the cartographic choice made for geteach.com. #geography #geochat #geosky #geographyteacher
