This session we focused on making an interactive map of plymouth campus. This can be used by teachers for children to explore different areas or topics. It could also be made by the children to research and show what they have found.
I found some of this task quite difficult. First we found the different pictures and sound files to use on our map. This was the simple part, we easily found them from a range of different websites. However when it came down to making the hyperlinks I came across some problems. I also had difficulties when trying to make the hyperlinks unseen. I have played around with the map at home and found it much easier to make the hyperlinks seen as little buttons on the screen. If i was to do this with children i would probably keep the hyperlinks seen.
I would like to try this again with pupils maybe linking to a geography topic of looking at differences between two communities. I think this would work well to stimulate independant research and learning.

I really like you're geography idea, about comparing two communities...I tought maybe links to history would work well too. For example, a map of Britain including pics, limks, etc focusing on victorian Britain.
