Explore all 44 U.S. Presidents on a Google Map
Google ’ve created a U.S. Presidents Showcase to map the birthplaces of all 44 presidents, and provide details about their presidential terms, using the Google Earth plug-in. You can also see the states that voted during each president’s election by clicking on the tours in the left column of the showcase.
In addition to the U.S. Presidents map, educators can use some of Google other resources in their classroom to explore more aspects of history. Here are a few ideas:
- Explore the White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and other historical monuments in 3D and have students explain how architecture is used to honor people, concepts and establishments
- View a 3D model of Valley Forge National Park in Google Earth
- View a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln and map the areas where slavery ended, as well as the areas that were not initially covered by this executive order
- Discuss the famous painting “Washington Crossing the Delaware†by German American artist Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze and use the ruler tool in Google Earth to measure the width of the Delaware River
