I recently did an interesting lesson which combined my student’s ICT and geographical skills. Challenging the students, I posed the problem, Can you map out the WIFI coverage of the school? My pupils got into teams and then picked a floor to work on. They then used their mapping knowledge to create a plan of all the rooms and corridors in the school.
