Using IPad & Pages to Engage Learners with Atlas Learning - The Olympics

As part of our STEAM, we have been learning about the Olympics. STEAM learning often creates more questions than it answers; most of these questions were geographical. To ignite their curiosity, we took a blank map and a list of Olympic host countries and created a very mundane-looking Pages document. With support from a good old-fashioned atlas ("what you used in the olden days before maps!"), learners used smart annotations to locate and label the countries on a map.

 

A very simple task was made more joyful and engaging through the introduction of an iPad. Learners were enagged and excited to bring life to their documents.
