The World beyond MapQuest
Flynn, Regina Robbins
Chronicle of Higher Education, v55 n42 Jul 2009
The author was impressed the first time she used MapQuest for a journey from Massachusetts to North Carolina's Outer Banks. The directions took her from her driveway to her brother's summer rental without a missed step for the entire 712 miles. She thought, life is amazing, and technology adds to the shine. In this article, the author shares how she was able to convince her daughter and her students about the value of being able to read and use maps.
