Creating Virtual Field Trips and Treasure Hunts using Padlet and Google Earth

2 September 2021

The Webinar has been presented at NZALT 2021 conference in Wellington.

We will explore how the online tool Padlet works, and how the interactive map function can be employed in foreign language teaching to create imaginary or real travel itineraries, treasure hunts and city/ country rallies. During the currently limited opportunities for international travel, this device- and browser-independent tool offers collaborative and creative opportunities for students to explore their own cultures and that of their exchange partners while using the target language. Users can share maps, making it easy to work with exchange partners across borders either in lieu of, or while planning, a potential visit.

In addition to the conference presentation we will also look at Google Earth because a major update of it makes Google Earth a valid alternative to Padlet´s interactive map.
