Beyond The App: Map It!

By Jess On May 22, 2013 · Add Comment

I grew up an Army Brat. My father was in the military, and moving was just a way of life. I was born in North Carolina, spent some time in Georgia, then Texas, followed by Germany, a short stint in Kansas, a few more years in Belgium, until finally finishing high school in Pennsylvania. When living overseas, weekends and school breaks were spent sightseeing: A castle one weekend, a medieval cathedral another, maybe a fjord or two over spring break. Needless to say, I spent a lot of my childhood in the backseat of the family car. Don’t get me wrong! I appreciate and value my traveling experiences; however, traveling is hard when you’re a kid.

Using Maps to Locate People, Places, and Things

Maps have become an obsession of my sons’. He is high-functioning autistic and is brilliant in learning maps and directions to certain places. So much that all of us ask HIM where streets are and he is glad to tell us (and correct us). We’ve been using the standard maps app on the iPad for years now to find streets and get directions. My son loves looking at a map of our neighborhood. He memorized the streets in a matter of days. We’ve found a few more apps that have been super fun in learning about new countries and their locations on the world map. Reading Maps We discovered the free Kid’s World Maps app by LJ Interactive that lets you see the physical and political views of a world map, as well as, includes cities, deserts, mountains, and rivers all over the world. It’s aimed for kids [...]
