Quickmaps

Here's an example of Quickmaps. We need to test how easy it is to post on a quickmap like this collaboratively, but so far I'm liking this mashup best.

What I can imgine is that students could create tours of different places in their hometowns (not where they live). Jon Udell's work like this has been a model for Susan Ettenheim and me in thinking about such projects.

  1. Hi Paul,

    I love Quickmaps.  I created a quick tour of my town and it was great. I look forward to watching this project grow.

    Cheers.

  2. Good idea Paul. Would you start a Quickmap for us to test? I like that we can have the students expand on the map with videos and photos or audio as they become familiar with using the tools. Telling stories like Jon Udell did would make it so easy to bring in the interest of parents and communities as the kids tell their hometown stories.
