A great guessing game

GeoGuessr is an engaging and interactive tool that can be a fun way to learn geography and enhance critical thinking skills. The game's immersive nature provides a unique way to explore global locations, offering a glimpse into diverse cultures and landscapes. However, it does have its limitations. The game can be challenging, especially for those with less geographical knowledge, and it doesn't provide detailed information about the locations. Also, there's a small chance of encountering inappropriate content as it uses Google Street View. Despite these minor drawbacks, GeoGuessr remains a unique and entertaining educational tool that brings the world to your fingertips. It would be even better if it had a difficulty setting, educational facts about the locations, and a filtering system for inappropriate content.

My overall opinion is that while fun, there are rare instances when the website provides real educational value. This is something that people play outside of school for fun, not really about learning. But if used properly and at the right time, it can connect to a geography unit for people of all ages. Also might be good for a cultural unit as students can see up close different parts of the world and maybe lose some biases about certain countries.

I enjoy playing this game by myself sometimes just to see how well I can identify areas of the world through deduction. The experience a student might have playing is heavily decided by how much knowledge they have of the outside world. Only would suggest it for older students.
