We found an app on the iPad that shows us all sorts of maps!
It even can tell us where we are! You can see on the blue dot….that’s us! We talked about how satellites can talk to our iPads to find where we are.
We had a lot of fun finding places using this app. But, we noticed that it is not that easy sometimes! We need to use our thinking skills to make sure we are using the GPS correctly. After playing with it for awhile, we came up with these strategies:
We can’t let the satellites and iPads do ALL our thinking, we need to think too! You can help us by showing us the GPS apps you use. Share the strategies you use to make sure you are getting where you need to go. Think out loud so we can hear how you figure things out. Maybe let us push a few buttons!
