How do I embed a Google Map in a Canvas text box?
Instructors can embed a dynamic Google Map into any Canvas text box (Announcements / Pages / Syllabus / Assignments / Discussions / Quizzes)
Students can embed a dynamic Google Map into any Canvas text box they can access (example: Discussions / Assignments that provide a Canvas text box)
Instructors must first add the Google Maps App to their Canvas course site. See: How do I add the Google Maps App to my Canvas course site?
