MapCrunch and Culture
I have never considered before that I could use tools like MapCrunch and Geoguesser in my Multiculturalism class. A fun activity would be to have students open a random location on MapCrunch (because a sign-in isn’t need) and see what elements of culture or identity they can find to help determine location. The idea would be to discuss how location can impact culture and perceptions or stereotypes of culture. Students would begin to explore what cues we might look for in culture. Examples might be: language, weather, infrastructure, people, race, clothing, etc. I think I have to try this in class!
