Highlights
Reviews
Geo Walk is also an educational app, and features a rotatable model of Earth, with various landmarks and places touchable on it. Click on the Eiffel Tower, and you'll get a picture, as well as a quick blurb about the structure. The design seems to be the same as the other Vito apps — create an interface that's fun and easy to navigate around, and then fill it with as much information as possible.
Geo Walk doesn't explore deep space, it explores our own varied planet. Think of Geo Walk as a world factbook at your fingertips.
Back in the pre-Internet days, kids who loved to learn found particular joy in the World Book Encyclopedia — a blue-spined collection of volumes, filled with information about just about everything, that could be found in most school libraries across the land. Geo Walk should hold similar appeal to the newest generation of precocious, iPhone-savvy students.
Since the information included on each card is brief, this app is a great source to use as an idea generator for research topics. Categories can be deselected, too, so you could make available only the options you want your students to explore.
