I blogged about GPS Drawing in my Fun With GPS post. I thought it would be great fun and always meant to have a go. My plan was to sketch it on squared paper and then go in to town where there was a regular(ish) street grid and try to draw it. However, like most of my plans… I never got around to actually doing it!

Go for it – a smashing idea
I managed to do a large letter F at Glasgow airport with the TrackStick – if i switched it off between parts it would have come out neater. Also years ago I made a CD called Wordroot which allowed students to travel between word parts and see connections “itis” “ology and “pter” etc I always wanted to locate these parts physically in place and let students gather word parts I’ll search out a link to the resource pack

David – now’s the time to do it!

John – That sounds like a great idea – I love the idea of being able to locate parts in a physical space, as so many learners need other means or cues to hang their understanding on.

Hello all
Yes I agree locating things in physical space that can make a big difference for some learners (especially left handed boys who want sit in the chairs – like me once)
just tracked down the old manual from wordroot and popped it at
http://www.davittlearning.net/wrbook.pdf
pages 9/ 11 will give plenty of ideas for words that can travelled through links or made up from parts if you see what I mean

Trackstick can be used to track people, cars, animals. It does not require a monthly fee and the software is very easy to use,
