I was at a Google Docs Master Class today. These two Google map games were shared with us and I am hoping to try them out with my class to develop critical thinking skills and to encourage digital exploration of the world. You might want to have a go as well.
Fun activities:
https://geoguessr.com/ It's a geo game that uses Google Maps. It shows you a (more or less) random place in Street View mode and you have to work out where in the world you are. It's a great game to play with your students to improve their observation, reasoning, logic, and of course mapping skills.
http://smartypins.withgoogle.com/ Answer trivia questions and drop a pin to win points - has different categories and is available as an app in the ios and android store.
Go back in time with Street view:

Many cultural institutions have extensive archives of information, much of which cannot always be put on public display. Our partner museums and curators have created exhibitions to bring these archives to life and make them available online.
Explore Historic Moments, Cultural Figures, Science & Technology, and other categories to browse through photos, videos, manuscripts and documents on a wide range of topics – from Nelson Mandela’s handwritten prison letters, to the ‘La Dolce Vita’ era in Italy.
eg Cultural Figures
Nelson Mandela Center of Memory
The Digital Dead Sea Scrolls
Constitute - the world's constitutions
The Comparative Constitutions Project cataloged and tagged nearly 350 themes, so people can easily find and compare specific constitutional material. This ranges from the fairly general, such as “Citizenship” and “Foreign Policy,” to the very specific, such as “Suffrage and turnouts” and “Judicial Autonomy and Power.”
Thanks to everyone who shared.
Next meeting at Flatbush School Thursday 7 May Week 3, with a cuppa at 3.30 and a meeting start at 3.45pm.
If you have a particular issue or topic that you would like explored at the next meeting on Thursday 7 May just add it to this doc and we’ll try and have somebody who is knowledgeable about it at the meeting.
Please also come with an app or an idea that you or your school have found useful, that you could share with the group.
Steve also will report back on the GAFE Summit he attended at Albany Senior High during the holidays.
