Canberra Mapping Treasure Hunt

Using a post from Pyewacket's Party, we worked in teams to decipher the clue beneath each picture of a Canberra tourist site. We needed to name the tourist spot and to discover its location.

We marked the locations on a map of Canberra we printed from Google Maps. We listed the 11 places and locations in our SOSE books and discussed each place with our team members.

Teams worked on two Smartboards, 5 classroom computers and a student's personal laptop.
