From the lovely The Unique Map of California and other colorful maps shared in this group comes an idea for a back-to-school get to know you activity for either teachers or students.
As we start school students or teachers bring up an online Map program (Apple, Google) of their neighborhood and take a screenshot. Using Keynote or Slides they add shapes, photographs and drawings (even movies) to personify and personalize their neighborhood experiences. Primary sources are part of the mix!
Then share out within the class or within you staff.
For practice, create and share a map of your haunts as a post to this album

My colleagues post incredibly fine resources and ideas....the caliber of the suggestions and resources make me feel that I take a lot from it. It's a takeaway. And I hope that I can give back as much as I get.

I am very glad that I discovered the TPS Teachers Network through RQI. Great resources can be hard to find out there on the internet!
