Mapping my way

Task 19 I had a look at a couple of web tools and decided to blog about Frappr A social mapping website. I added a map at the bottom of this blog so feel free to add yourself to it. I invite all my visitors (note my positvity about 'all' my visitors) to map themselves.

I liked that

• you don't have to give alot of info
• you can add a message
• you can learn whereabouts in the world the visitors to your blog/website live. 

There was not really anything that I didn't like about the site. It is basically a way for you to become familiar with the visitors to your site. It could be used to support Geography learning within a classroom as a sort of interactive atlas. You could also use it as a way to promote cyber safety by discussing with children the importance of not giving away too much personal info. ie. Name/location - remind them of the need for usernames that don't identify them and to be careful about what photos they post etc. and most importantly not to give addresses out on the net.
