The other day my daughter asked me about the Autonomous Communities of Spain. Through the blog that your teacher has on the Internet we connect to a page where we could learn all the communities in a very simple and enjoyable way. And you could learn by putting the names on the map, placing the communities on the map, etc.
And there is more because The site shows maps of the geography of Spain and the World in general with the possibility of playing, as if it were a puzzle, to fit provinces on the map, to name the main rivers, tributaries and geographical features of Spain. I think most of them are very simple flash resources, although they are extremely useful because what it is about knowing how to locate the most important geographical accidents quickly and entertainingly.
The map interactivity It makes it easier for names to be retained, to know where to place them, memorization, spatial location and general use of technologies with which our children are learning many things. For example, spelling.
In this video from a year ago, you can see the creator, Enrique Alonso, explaining how he came up with these applications, from his retirement stage, and how he sees the use of these resources in the educational process.
