Seemed a lot more exciting with introduction of a game "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" using Google Earth shared by freetech4teachers Great for EL and Geog!
To play Where on Google Earth is Carmen Sandiego? simply go to g.co/carmensandiego and start "interviewing" witnesses by clicking on the magnifying glass.
When you click on an interviewee Google Earth will automatically zoom-in on the location of the interview. Just like in any other use of Google Earth, you can zoom and pan around the area of detail.
Great for learning about places around the world!
After talking to the witnesses, use the information to make your best guess as to where you should fly to next from a given list to pursue Carmen Sandiego.
I think using this concept it can be applied on virtual amazing race too. Tried that by place marking but this is more fun. Will try that with students one day!
Update:
Carmen Sandiego is back!
Another game to help Carmen Sandiego recover Tutankhamun’s Mask. Le Chevre, a master climber and her classmate of at VILE Academy, has stolen the priceless artifact.
Third and latest addition.
After you helped Carmen Sandiego recover the stolen Crown Jewels of England and Tutankhamun’s Mask. Now we need you for a third and final assignment: Recover the Keys to the Kremlin in Google Earth.
