Fun with AEJEE

I have spent some time this weekend going through the lessons in the Help PDF that comes with AEJEE. It has been very helpful in explaining why certain tools are used. In the past, I have just followed directions for pre-made lesson plans or only used the basic tools that I felt most comfortable with. Lesson three is a lot of fun and will be useful. In this lesson I have learned how to create my own maps for use in lessons. It also will be a great tool for teaching my world geography students about different map projections and measurements on a two dimensional map. Great circle routes are demonstrated well with the measurement tool. I can't wait to start making more maps and exporting them to be used in slide shows or on test!
