My students draw a lot of maps in Google Drawings, but if you want to do more than just labeling, you might want to consider Scribble Maps. Scribble maps allows you to put pins in locations, but then to add descriptions as well as Youtube video and even to have different fonts, etc. Best of all it creates a unique url (or you can create your own) and lets you set the password so you can have your students do an assignment on it without having to worry about the site getting any e-mail addresses for the students. Above is a video showing how to use Scribble Maps.
