In online learning, Frappr! Maps could be used for:

• Icebreaker - have your students enter their locations, pictures, and short introduction to help them get to know one another.

• Use the map to create a visualization of your course material. Even better, have your students work collaboratively to create this learning resource for the class!
  --> Have your students build a map of the works or theories they are studying. Load book covers, works of art, pictures, event names, significant dates.
