Bubblr + Quikmaps

Published by under Google,Mapping,My class,Photographs,Quikmaps,Wiki

Thanks to Doug Belshaw for making me get on and write this after he pinged my Bubblr post. There are people who are reading my blog :)

My Bubblr and Quikmaps idea is essentially an extension of a History activity I did with my class of Year 6 kids – they added photos to a quikmap placemark, we then embedded them in our wikispace (see my post about the lesson)

Bubblr is a comic strip creator – once these have been made they can also be added to a Quikmap placemark. See an example I made quickly here.

They can also be emedded into a class wikispace like this one.

All you do is click on BLOG THIS after you have published the Bubblr strip – then copy the first set of code and add it into a placemark in Quikmaps.

I have noticed that Bubblr works much better with Internet Explorer than my usual Firefox – so I would recommend to switch to work with it.

    Of course people are reading your blog, Tom. If you write interesting, innovative and high-quality posts people will naturally be interested in what you are doing! Thanks for the heads-up on the Internet Explorer issue. And I love the integration of Bubblr with Wikispaces… :D

    Tom,
    We have just acquired a travel bug ( we have a keen geocaching TA in school) and would like to see it travel – rather than just taking it to a caching site I wondered if we sent it to you it might visit some of your local sites, and we can keep tabs on its journey ???

    Paul – I often geocache when I have time and I have pondered the idea of buying travel bugs for each class at school to track in Google Earth.
    By all means send the bug! School address is:

    Priestsic Primary and Nursery School
    Park Street
    Sutton in Ashfield
    Nottinghamshire
    NG17 4BB
