Cool Tool for Schools
Hey readers,
Let me ask you a question: While in school, was there ever a time where you wish the teacher would make the lesson more fun? I know I have, so that got me thinking. With all this fanzy technology around us, how can teachers today use this to the student's (and their own) advantage. So I surfed around the web and found this awesome website that makes learning fun!!
I love scavenger hunts, and this site offers people the virtual version!! TerraClues is a scavenger hunting site where teachers can create clues -- or use ones already created by other educators -- the correlate with the class's lesson plan. These clues can be anything from geography topics, to history, to english, to whatever you are learning. The teacher makes these clues and the student's job is to find them using the internet. The best part about this is that the teacher can have their own account to manage which also contains his/her class lists too. You can give the clues difficulty levels, use either the Google Map or Google Search, and much much more!!!
This is an awesome tool that certainly makes learning fun! Come one, who doesn't like a scavenger hunt?! Take a look around TerraClues and even go make your own! Check out the video I found that will help you create your own Hunt!
