Scribble Maps in the Classroom

With our city camp coming up I introduced the class to Scribble Maps this morning.  I had previously used Google Maps with them so they were aware of how the maps worked.  Most immediately began to investigate the functionality of the site - their task was to plot some of the places we are going to visit on the camp.

The wireless network had a bit of trouble coping with demand - few students lost some work at various stages but overall it was a success.  Distraction factor was high with the number of choices they had for markers.  At this stage no student was really up for looking at plotting routes on the map.  Something for the future.  Also need to investigate the saving and publishing options available.
