Mapping is a way to learn geography, places, locations, and even people. Interactive maps are often used in a classroom to teach students through means of visual stimulation. The use of maps can also be helpful when teaching student to get from one place to another. Interactive maps are a great way to get students to work together in a single classroom or even with another classroom on the opposite side of the country.
New Labeled Image Activity on StudyShack
This article is about a new mapping tool that is available for teachers. It allows images to be uploaded and then labeled. Once labeled, the images are turned into targets that can be used to teach and test students on their knowledge of the map, images, and the labels. Time and accuracy is recorded as well. This is a great interactive tool to learn geography, or about people and places!
Post Card Exchange Project
Colette Cassinelli has started a Post Card Exchange Project, where her Catholic School student started this in Beaverton, Oregon. This is a way to get people involved all over the country to upload and share post cards that are hand made or pictures (without copyright issues) with one another. It is a way to learn about the counrty through the eyes of other students and what they have access to. The images are uploaded to a map, which is interactive. This is a great tool, and project, that any student of any age is able to participate in. It is Awesome!
