Written by I shared this site with my Twitter friends yesterday. It's called GeoSpy and it's a great way to interact with the world while learning or reviewing continents, countries, states and provinces. I actually used it to brush up on my Canadian Territories and Provinces. I'm happy to report that I can now (after three tries…New Brunswick always gets me) identify all 13 Territories and Provinces (yeah).
Imagine how cool it would be to have your students interacting with your SMART Board, learning about the countries of the world and having fun. Well, GeoSpy is your answer. Another neat feature is the ability to print out a certificate with the student's name on it.
Why not have a group of students (let's say groups of three) practice the states right before class begins. Others students are sure to take interest every day and it would settle the class before your lesson begins. I would also suggest that students use something more precise than their finger when they use GeoSpy with the SMART Board; some of the countries and states are pretty small so make sure your SMART Board is aligned before you play. This game has been SMART Board tested and Hollis approved!
