Using Google Maps to improve our Geography Knowledge.

Now that the Commonwealth Games are about to begin in the Gold Coast, Australia, R14 decided to have a look at the countries in the Commonwealth Games. We were challenged by Mrs T to find as many as we could using our new tool Google Maps. We did a great job working collaboratively in twos or threes. As we went along we marked them on a map of the World.

Do you know how many countries are in the Commonwealth? How many can you find on a map of the World?

  1. Very exciting watching the Opening Ceremony last night. Great to see that you are learning to use such a useful tool. What ICT superstars you are Room 14. Go our NZ athletes. Lets hope that they bring home lots of medals!

  2. What was the answer? How many countries are in the commonwealth games? How did you find using the Google Maps tool? Could you also measure the distance between each country? Which country is the furtherest away from Gold Coast Australia?
