GeoSense: I wish I had this in Geography class
Posted by: Dion Almaer on June 15, 2007
I wish we had tools such as GeoSense in the classroom.
It would be great to be able to "play a game" with other students. I would have really gotten into physical geography then. Also, it doesn't stop at just "where is some place in Africa". You can extend this to have information on all kinds of political, historical, and social issues that relate to geography.
I am sure todays teachers are wise to this and don't get up front in class and blabber on at the kids :/
