While listening to a webinar this afternoon, Eric Curts demonstrated Smarty Pins- it’s a combination of Google Maps with a wide variety of trivia questions. You start with 1000 miles- and you lose miles for errors in your pin drops (if you are really close- you get bonus points). This might be an interesting activity in geography classes- and who knows- maybe your students will be motivated to write their own questions? Here’s the blog post describing the product (along with several other Google tools).
