Google Maps Engine Activity

I choose option 2 of activity.
Idea:
When I try a several times of Google Maps Engine, I’m thinking about using it into Chinese History study. Since China have a long history with many different dynasties, student can use Google Maps Engine to create each dynasties’ simple map. Here is one I did as an example:

The red line is the boundary of Qin Dynasty. And the gray line is the Great Wall in that period.

Furthermore, I think teacher can give different student different assignment. Like some student can mark some important cities in this dynasty; some student can mark where some important event happened; some student can draw the line of march of some crucial war; etc.
