In a dream I hope to work with students in the 6th grade teaching geography culture and maps 101 skills. I enjoy map programs and envision a digital story telling project that would encompass their journey to a country using Google maps, a presentation device and their voice. Objective: Learn about the world around them. Action: They would choose a country, determine what they already know about this country, decide how they would leave Florida and arrive at the destination. They would discover facts, pictures, current pop culture and write about the misconceptions they may have had when they first selected this country. The culminating task will be to show what they have curated on a Prezi taking us through their journey. Using a podcast program they will reflect and regale the class with this information in story format to mirror the Prezi. Students will need access to recording devices, microphones, cameras, computers or iPads and software that will support imagery and audio storage. Students will learn to create a cohesive presentation using a myriad of software and hardware tools to show understanding and comprehension of maps, cultures and geography.

I love this idea. I love maps but am completely intimidated by them, ha! Nevertheless, maps are incredibly effective and powerful teaching tools.

Thanks, since it was a dream classroom I figured I could get away with it but... I was thinking this would be a month long project for when the students have those twenty minute moments. In my mind I wanted it to be a quest, it matches six grade geography standards so it wouldn't be too far-fetched to pull this off.
