Graphic Organizer

My Graphic Organizer focues on the beginnings of the Revolutionary War.

The embedded image cut into the blogger format too much, and when it was resized smaller it became unreadable.

PurposeGames.com



I found PurposeGames.com, a website where I can create specific maps and quizzes based exactly on the points focused on in class. Too often maps are confusing and note things not covered by the instructor in class. This would be a way to create a quiz and map based on the points covered by the instructor.

Push Pin Map



Via: www.iknowthat.com I was able to create a push pin map in which I could specify the significance of each location selected by myself and have students do research on why that location was pinpointed and how they all connect.

Online Competition



http://www.geosense.net/

Via this website you can log on and play another person in a geography quiz. A head to head or class session could be set up and randomized using World, Europe, or US Geography. A class tournament could be held.

Survey Says...






Here are my survey results, I sent out the survey to a random selection of five students. Four answered. I don't know which four of the five answered so the survey results are anonymous in that respect. I used this survey to get a basic grasp of how people feel technology integrates into their day to day life. If you notice, questions two and six correlate as thought. It's pretty cool. I thought I'd get people to trip up. It seems that more and more the lines between "real" life and the world that exists online are become blurred.
