Explore the World with Google Maps: Fun and Interactive Map Reading and Language Classes for Curious Young Minds!
Hello there! I’m Naomi, an enthusiastic educator dedicated to guiding young minds in the exciting world of cartography and cultural literacy. I specialize in teaching kids how to proficiently read and navigate maps using Google Maps Software. My classes are more than just learning about locations; they are a journey into tech literacy, geographic awareness, and an exploration of language dialects.
My passion for geography and languages stems from my own experiences living and traveling abroad. I believe that understanding our world begins with a map in hand and curiosity in heart. By merging technology with traditional learning, I aim to equip my students with the skills to confidently explore both the digital and physical world.
When I'm not teaching, you'll find me indulging in my love for travel and languages, or perhaps going on an outdoor quest to the beach or hiking with friends. I'm here to make learning an adventure and to inspire a generation of tech-savvy, globally aware young explorers.
Join me on this educational adventure, where each lesson is a step towards becoming a young cartographer and global citizen!
