Interactive media for map reading on SLS

So happy to find that interactive media from ETD is now included in SLS. Would really hope that the older interactive e.g. grid reference - fun with building and grid bearing - flying a plane are also included! The only draw back with the existing one is the absence of 4-figure and 6-figure grid reference. However still love the games Sailing with bearing and Quest of Arudra Island.

Added the interactive media on lesson review - "How to read a map (part 2) features of a map."

Added the interactive media on the game  "Quest on Arudra Island"

Added the interactive media on the game  "Sailing with Bearing"

To overcome the issue of the lesson review not showing the 4-figure and 6-figure grid reference, thinking of using the thinking routine to get the students to draw it out.

Using Google Sheets to analyse and represent data for coastal GI

Sharing how I use Google Sheets to generate scatter graph, comparative line graphs and beach profile for the Coastal GI in helping the students to analyse and represent the data they have collected at ECP.

Google Earth Game

Remember my earlier sharing on Google Earth? http://geogshare.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Earth?m=1 

Seemed a lot more exciting with introduction of a game "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" using Google Earth shared by freetech4teachers Great for EL and Geog!

To play Where on Google Earth is Carmen Sandiego? simply go to g.co/carmensandiego and start "interviewing" witnesses by clicking on the magnifying glass.

When you click on an interviewee Google Earth will automatically zoom-in on the location of the interview. Just like in any other use of Google Earth, you can zoom and pan around the area of detail.
Great for learning about places around the world!

After talking to the witnesses, use the information to make your best guess as to where you should fly to next from a given list to pursue Carmen Sandiego.

I think using this concept it can be applied on virtual amazing race too. Tried that by place marking but this is more fun. Will try that with students one day!

      

      

Update:

Carmen Sandiego is back!

Another game to help Carmen Sandiego recover Tutankhamun’s Mask. Le Chevre, a master climber and her classmate of  at VILE Academy, has stolen the priceless artifact.
