Geotagging & Alma Maters

Here is my Bright Idea on incorporating geotagging and your (and others alma maters):

My last idea was on sharing teacher and parent alma maters.  This is a great way to incorporate Geotagging.  Currently in our school we celebrate for a week "College week."  We talk about our alma maters with the students and have them share their parents/guardians alma mater.  Specifically, we focus in on this during "March Madness."  (College basketball at its best!)  Having students share pictures of their parent(s)/guardian(s) alma mater or images of the mascot geotagged would be a great discussion starter.  You can develop it any way you wish based on your students.  Based on your location you might consider football session if that is what is followed in your area:) Enjoy!

  1. I really like your idea. I could see any HS USA also doing this to promote HS seniors connecting with HS staff who might have attended a school they are considering. Great idea! Carolyn

  2. What an awesome idea! I've noticed that our society (and schools) are much more transient than they were back in my day. It would be interesting to see where different families in the class have moved from.
