ClustrMaps+Ideas



Let's build a list of ideas for how we could use ClustrMaps to teach Social Sciences (or other subjects).

ClustrMaps in the Classroom:
>>
 * //See who’s visiting, then…//
 * Add content tailored to visitors' needs (different languages, music from a specific culture, etc.).
 * Students do a research report on visitors' locations.
 * Teach a geography lesson based on visitors' locations.
 * You could try to create penpals from every populated continent. After getting to know them, ask them to visit the site so we can pinpoint where they live. -Amy Neeld
 * Do a search on the internet about the city and location of the view. Jennifer Tyler
 * Track and learn about the people who are visiting the site, and then interact with them via a discussion board or social network site. -Kelsey Nelson
 * Find where those places are on Google Maps; do a virtual tour.
 * Remind students they are part of a global voice; demonstrate interconnectedness.
 * Motivation…students will be very excited when they see who’s visiting (also provides an opportunity to drive home the importance of spelling, accuracy, etc., with so many people viewing your information).
 * Discuss strategies: how can you increase readership (grow those dots).
 * Send out a tweet inviting people to your blog, then watch as the map lights up and pulses (it pulses when people are live on your site).
