Some words about our work this week: TREASURE HUNT

The core of the task this week has been the concept of “Treasure hunt”, also known as “Scavenger hunt” or “Knowledge hunt”. This is a useful primary activity for identifying goals, defining terms and locating information or facts. It also encourages students using Internet to search for different questions planned by the "Huntmaker". They learn to handle the different websites, to select and organize all the information provided by the web.

The end question or “big question” is essential. Is a way to see if they have acquire basic knowledge about the topic.

Because of my rol this week, as curator-farmer, I’ve been in charge of compile and organize all the resources we have used in this practice and I think it’s very important trying to understand thoroughly this educational resource. So if you are interested, you can have a look at this link with more information about the topic:


I also found some interesting articles about the distortions of reality in cartographic projections and videogames:


I hope you find them appealing.

Have a nice evening!
