Mapping without a map
There’s many simple ways to incorporate new media skills and learn geography, culture and history without mapping:
- Use Flickr to find pictures tagged with the area students are studying.
- Search educational video sites that won’t be blocked at school for content about the culture, language and geography of a particular area (among other things).
- Use Google News or a major newspaper website to find news related to a region.
- Try a travel or geography wiki (which students could contribute to later).
