If you are planning to travel this summer like me, check this out. Plnnr
This site was the best one I have found yet. It was very easy to access. It had step by step instructions and was appealing to the eye. The purpose of Plnnr was to help plan a vacation that you will never forget. It was help plan you itinerary and let you know about transportation options. I would use this website in teaching to let students know that this is an easy way to find a good trip itinerary. It can help them plan the best sites to see while in a different place. Plnnr was easy to navigate through and it let you pick your destination and how long you would be staying and what type of vacation you were going to have. You could travel with your kids, for leisure, or to experience the culture. The bad thing I noticed right away was that you were not allowed to put in any destination. It had a list of different countries and those were your only options. If you were not wanting to travel to one that was listed than I guess this site would be useless. The intended audience would be for adults. If high schoolers were planning a group trip with friends to a different country or a surprise trip for someone. they could use it too. But adults would be the major audience that this website focuses towards.
Go on Plnnr and check out wonderful trip itineraries.
Could you use this in an upper level elementary/middle school setting to teach geography or world cultures?
ReplyDeleteI guess you could, it might be a fun new way to learn about different places in the world. Once you pick a place to travel to then you could see what the itinerary says and then learn about those specific places. That might be interesting to learn about. So if any of the students do want to travel to any of those places then they will have some prior knowledge about them.
