I found many projects that could be used to parallel the curriculum used in my district. This website is a Problem Solving site. It incorporates an information search in which students are given clues and must arrive at an answer. This site incorporates the geography themes of location, place, human environment, interaction, movement, and region. Students may create their own Geo-Mystery Project by brainstorming what is unique about the place where they live, create drawings or take photos of the place, and then add captions.
Students are to highlight where they live without giving away where they are.
By using pictures and word clues, students will provide hints about their location. The final clue will be the latitude and longitude of their location. Once their project is complete it is entered onto the website. As well as creating a project, students may log onto the site and solve any of the already created projects. Students may use any resources available to arrive at the destination.
