"Think you're good at geography? Know your rich countries from your poor ones? Ready to do battle with our sometimes cryptic pictures? And most of all, can you stay cool as the clock ticks down? Then play the Global development game: identify the world's countries and territories, rank them according to GDP then fingers at the ready for the picture round"
Great interactive activity for students to use ALL skills they have acquired in Geography. This tool drops you anywhere in the world that uses Google Maps Street View. Students then use skills in analysing: climate, topography, language, signs, vehicles etc. to select with a pin where they think they have been located.
Works on 5 rounds and keeps your score, shareable with a link to challenge each other. Great activity that can go from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.
RWT Timline is available as a web app (Flash required), as an Android app, and as an iPad app. All three versions make it easy for students to create timelines for any series of events.
To create a timeline with RWT Timeline students first tap or click along a blank line to add an event. Events can include dates in any format. Each event has room for a brief description and an image. Longer descriptions can be written but they won't appear on the timeline, they'll only appear in the printed notes about the timeline. Students can drag and drop events on their timelines to create appropriate spacing between each event.
