Unschooling Geography

So, recently the girls were playing with the Intro to Geography app that we have on the iPad.  Even though the app does show them where each of the countries is located they asked if they could use our big map to find them.  It was so fabulous to watch them work together to find all the countries on our map.  They would get so excited each time they located one and then they would work together to find where it belonged on the app.  I just love that they combined low tech and high making for a truly unique experience.  And it never ceases to amaze me what happens by simply keeping their world full of interesting things.  By leaving things out, with no expectations at all of the outcome, the most fabulous things are learned and created!
