Cedar Point - Map Your Trip
View Larger Map
I was able to visit Cedar Point and map out what I did for the day. I went on the demon drop, raptor, millenium force, and many other good rides.
After figuring out how to do this task I realized that I would never even be able to use this program in my classroom. If I wanted the students to create a map of something it would have to be a drawing and there would have to modeling even at that level. The needs of my students are high due to their cognitive impairment.
This assignment would require my students to use a map of Cedar Point and show us the route they decide to take and what rides they rode. This could be done before a trip to plan for the day or used after the trip like we did here to show other where you went. This assignment could be done by the teacher and given to the kids so they have to learn to read a map as well. It just depends on the skill needing work.

I thought your idea to map your route at Cedar Point a good one. Students could even go to a place they wanted to go to and make a route. You could also use this same idea if you had students that were learning about a certain state or country. They could mark important landmarks as well. Great idea!
What a great way to have students map something relevant to them. This will also make their trip more productive. Student security wise, they could map rendezvous points and medical facilities. The more I think of this, the better your idea is. Nice idea.
