Geo Tech was defintely new experience for me. This was the first time that I had attended a TECH workshop, and very glad that I did! There were so many interesting classes to choose from.
A great session that I attended was how to geotag pictures. I was so amazed with the way a person could track pictures from around the world. The instructor gaves us some websites that allowed geotagging. Some of them were Flickr and Panaromio.
Geotagging is a great tool to use in the classroom. I could use it as a visual tool for many of my students. Many of my students are from low-socio economic backgrounds and would really benefit from seeing real life pictures to create that schema within. As their reading teacher I have learned that many of my students need that schema to improve in their reading score, and this is definetely a way that I could activate their schema!
