Scribble Maps is a perfect tool to use with younger grades. Students in Early Childhood classrooms get easily confused and cannot follow a large amount of instructions at a time. This tool can help "break up" the instructions and engage the learners in a fun way. Disadvantages therefore would obviously be getting side-tracked or going over-board with the "scribble" tools. This activity would have to be closely monitored.
Plus
- large amount of interactive tools
- easy to follow instructions
- clear graphics with satellite capabilities
Minus
- presents the ability to be side tracked with a large amount of tools
- ethical issues are involved if children search for and label their houses
- some children may be overwhelmed with the content
Interesting
- children are able to see their own home and school in a real-life setting
