Exploring with Google

This week we completed our first Mystery Hangout of the year. To prepare we had time in the computer lab to explore with Google Maps and all its lovely components. Students traveled to far away places, explored the tundra and even had a chance to view the Great Barrier Reef.

  

Once we were confident in using google maps, an atlas and our wall map we jumped into our first Mystery Hangout. The students had specific jobs and asked excellent questions to their new virtual pals. Not only did we manage to find the state of our new pals but we were able to narrow it down to the city and even the school. Absolutely fantastic for our first go at it!
