We will be starting in Trastevere, Tuscany, Florence and Cinque Terre.


While teaching a class this week I showed a group of students how to add videos to an image using Thinglink.  I found an example of Italy, which allowed me to "remix".

The map above provides so many opportunities for us to plan and reflect.
