Do you remember spelling assignments from elementary school? Boring was a good descriptive word for most of them. Mrs. Shogan's students have a new spelling activity called Geogreeting this year that adds fun, geography, and Web 2.0 skills to her spelling lessons! Students have the option to go to http://www.geogreeting.com/view.html?yCzovvsxqUzBkmDsmoUmkxUloUpEx3U975Ud and see their spelling words created with buildings from around the world. Anything you type can be spelled out in the aerial shot of a building and it shows where in the world the building was located. The students then get to practice their email skills by emailing Mrs. Shogan a link to one word they created.
Visit the site for yourself and see if spelling isn't a lot more fun than it used to be! You might even see a few new places while you are at it. http://www.geogreeting.com/
