GeoGuessr is an engaging "Guess Where You Are" geography experience!

My Take

Last school year, this was the game that my students requested the most.. Any time we finished early, the question arose, "Can we play GeoGuessr?". Sometimes we formed teams, and played it like a team sport. The best outcome for me, was watching students learn to work with each other, compromise and think more logically rather than just "spurt" out a guess. If there was a question, often times students would look up the answers right then on their smart phones. I limited "play time" to ten minutes or less, depending on the situation. Then, we talked about similarities and differences in the locations where we were sent. I heard students discussing their observations and findings as they passed between classes. Overall, this is a teaching tool that could be used in a variety of subject areas.
