Scribble Maps is not Affiliated with Google

Scribble Maps is a website that lets you scribble, draw, and annotate over Google maps.  Scribble Maps even lets you print your maps, save them, embed them on your website, blog, or wiki or save them as jpeg images to your computer.   

In addition to annotating over maps, you can also add place markers with titles and descriptions, and add images to the map
Maps can be viewed as regular maps, terrain maps, hybrid maps, or satellite maps making it pretty ideal for every classroom need.

How to integrate Scribble Maps into the classroom:

The days of bulky pull down maps taking up space in your classroom are over. 
If you have an interactive whiteboard or computer with projector, Scribble Maps is all you need.  (You couldn’t write on those expensive maps anyway!) 
Scribble Maps is perfect for your every map need.  Whether it is a quick reference or an in depth geography lesson, Scribble Maps is easy to use, save, and print. 
Use Scribble Maps in literature or history and drop place markers with descriptions on a map as students read.  Students will have a better idea of what is happening in story when they can visually see places mentioned marked out on a map. 
Scribble Maps would be a great tool for those Flat Stanley projects that elementary classrooms across the country do each school year or to create a map for any book the students might be reading.  Play map games calling out geographical places and having students find them on the map and tag them with the information they know.
