Tired of Teaching “Elements of Plot”? A New, Fun Approach! | Ms. G's Room 30 Are you tired of beginning each school year with the same ol’ “Elements of Plot” lesson?

Hem - Digitala Skollyftet IT-pedagog ImageQuiz Where Would You Live on This Map of the Internet? If there was a map of the Internet, which country would you call home? This fascinating map was created by Slovakian student and amateur graphic design artist Martin Vargic, who often goes by the pseudonym Jay Simons, and he left no detail untouched. The map is divided into categorized continents, which are then further detailed with countries. The eastern part of the map is comprised mostly of software companies, such as Microsoft and HP, while the western hemisphere which Vargic refers to as the "New World" is made up of websites and social networks like Facebook and Google. Cities are represented with sub-categories and trends; the iPhone 5 on the Apple sector, and OneDirectionVEVO in the YouTube country, while the countries' capitals are portrayed with the CEO or founder's last name.
