ISTE 2013 was awesome. We were able to make connections with many people that we interact with regularly, but only through the digital realm. That is always exciting when you have the opportunity to discuss and collaborate with the people that already make great products for your students to use.

It is good from a science perspective as well because you have to look at the weather, types of trees, and various landforms. These clues allow you to make an educated guess of the location on the map. You receive points based upon your answer. The closer to the actual location, the more points you receive. Once you are finished, you can send the link to someone else through email. This allows you to compare results to see who was most accurate.

This would allow anyone in the class to meet the challenge. via Free Technology for Teachers...
