We are learning about our community and as part of this, I wanted to try a mapping activity where students could point out where they lived and create a short blurb about their household.
I tried to figure out if we could insert an interactive map into MIRO that could be zoomed in and out but I couldn’t figure it out. So I took multiple screen shots of our local area around school, and put them together in a MIRO like a jigsaw. I then locked it in so it couldn’t be moved. Although it took awhile to put together, I enjoyed the challenge.
While we were on the MIRO, I encouraged the students to try and use the video chat but they didn’t appear to want which was fine. I found zooming in and out of the MIRO awesome because zooming in allowed the students to find their street, even their house and zooming out let us see how far kids lived away from school and how near and far they were away from each other. I enjoyed seeing the kids working in MIRO in real time as their names were the cursor so I could direct them to go to the school grounds etc which was cool. I will definitely be sharing this activity with my department and my other classes (below is a short video of me showing them what to do in the MIRO).
