Scribblemaps, powered by Google Maps, provides a satellite image on which students can create labels and drawings. Scales can be drawn as well.

Using scribblemaps is a way to replace paper and colored pencil maps and give students an image they are familiar with seeing on devices today.

I use scribblemaps at the start of each unit to label important features of the geography that benefitted the settlements of Ancient Civilizations.

Flippity is a FREE platform that allows you to choose from a variety of activities.

My favorite is the "virtual breakout" where students need to answer questions to open locks. I use this as a balanced high and low-tech activity by hanging clues around the classroom, as students need to work together and collaborate before entering answers to "break out".

It is interactive and fun! Students enjoy competing for best times or beating their own best time by playing again!
