As I am now reflecting upon this activity of marking My Places or my family's places for the past one or two generations, I think it shows to me that we've been there for a long time in our traditional places of residence. But as I can see from my own family members now like my brothers and sisters they're in different countries now some of them are for example citizens of Canada and others are citizens of the United States oh, this man is this that this trend will carry on for the next two generation – one globe where connectivity is crucial to keep belonging.

An important thing that we can do with such tools i.e., google maps, is to spot places where we want to discuss on and bring live examples of the train and also location to present its challenges and opportunities. For example, if we can get the google earth map, it will create a sense of excitement and joy in the class as well as it will help students learn from those satellite pictures and 3-D images of certain places. It can create a sense of being there while studying about it. For example, if I teach natural hazards in northern Afghanistan and to show how glaciers melting can cause serious damage to lives and economies of those rural people. You can actually give a real and first-hand sense of the seriousness of global warming. Doing this will be really hard without technology or it will be really time consuming.

A great point to mention Fakhrullah, I believe that people should not stop in a single place and move around. If our grandkids do the same activity after many years then they would see many different places than we saw from our grandfathers that were living mostly in a single place for all their lives.
