Geography..........


Is it wrong to play the game "PlaceSpotting"???
Since being an avid geography fanatic I surf the internet to see what new inventions and software are available for me to find places in the world.

In one of my searches in wikipedia i came onto the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlaceSpotting which gave me the game PlaceSpotting.
This game PlaceSpotting was developed for people who used email communication to send their friends screen shots of interesting places and wanted them to guess what place was shown. This piece of software would serve well for those students in the secondary school level who are doing Geography. Teachers can make use of this software when they are doing maps and location...

They can do this because almost all Secondary schools have computers an access to the internet...

Even though it is based in Europe....
For those who have access to the internet it is fun....
It is also present on Facebook and StudiVZ...
But one begs to differ is it right or wrong for students to learn via this method...
Will it corrupt the way they learn......
