Mapping Our World from Oxfam.org.uk
SMART Board, Site Recommendations November 4th, 2009
Mapping Our World is an interactive resource from Oxfam.org.uk specifically made for Whiteboards that explores the relationship between maps and globes. There are 3 different lessons with a total of 9 different activities, and each focuses on different skills related to maps, globes, and geography (read here for more specific curriculum information). Review questions for each activity can be found by clicking “Plenary” at the bottom of each activity. Below is the “What on Earth?” interactive from Lesson 1 that lets students look at Earth from an alien’s point of view. Students must then log all the features that can be seen from different distances and angles. What a fantastic resource!
