GEOMAPPING AMERICA'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

From Curriki and Global Education Learning Community website:

Students from many disciplines studying at the Escuela de Graduados en Administración Pública y Política Pública (EGAP) del Tecnológico de Monterrey, have planned a project called “Geomapping in America’s Elementary Schools” which will serve as software for One Laptop Per Child’s XO project.The project involves creating an interactive map of the Americas with geographical and sociological information that would help teachers in social science courses for children between 9 and 10 years old. The map will consist of two layers, one with graphical content and the other with language. Thus although the project will be in Spanish it can be easily adapted to other languages. Awardees include Fernando Rojas Sanchez, Dante Sanchez, Hector GHF, Nestor Guerrero, and Ricardo Martinez.

A warm congratulations to all winners
