Geotagging

Now this is exciting- if you have a flikr account you can geotag your photos- i.e. place them on a flag on a map location. Great eh?



After spending some time messing about with Beebots, I thought we could use these like we used to use Barnaby Bear in Key Stage 1 Geography. Remember that activity where we took shots of a teddy in random global locations? Some schools did this better than others, some had some very dodgy fluffy toys while other excelled with a raft of worldwide locations and a high quality bear. Anyway I am on a tangent here..



So, if we take picture of our Beebot, upload them to Flickr then geotag the photos- we can show kids a map of Beebot's travels and create stories as to why he might be in all of these diverse places.



Have a look at the map below and search in the tag search for "Beebot"

How do I geotag?
