It has FREE, curriculum (very easy to use, and is developed through the U of MN), and is appropriate for K-12. I used it when I taught 10-12 EBD, and the kids loved it. It has an environmental focus, but also includes ALL discipline areas, including cultures and geography. The website is easy to use, and although you have to sign up, it is all FREE. This is really a great opportunity, so I just wanted to pass it on, so maybe you could pass on to your teachers! tomderis Sun, 10 Feb 2008 04:03:26 +0000 geography http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/africa.html The following maps were produced by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, unless otherwise indicated. aseldow Wed, 12 Dec 2007 20:42:24 +0000 maps free maps geography http://www.mywonderfulworld.org/index.html That's why we started My Wonderful World.

Instead of positioning the typical Tetris blocks, you position states/countries at their proper location.

No event, situation, problem in nature or human history has much meaning until it is examined against its geographical background. Geography studies the location, extent, distribution, frequency and interaction of all significant elements of the human and physical environment on the earth's surface. They are not just present or absent but found to co-exist in recognizable patterns. They do so not in random, unpredictable relationships by accident or coincidence. Their distribution and extent, whether it is mineral wealth, traffic flows, good agricultural soils, pollution, health hazards, population growth, or economic development and political alliances, can often be explained and even predicted. dan.donato Thu, 20 Sep 2007 00:30:16 +0000 geography global awareness us education weak http://www.ilike2learn.com/ Fun Geography quiz site to help practice learning countries/states/mountain ranges for tests or just to do better on the geography game on facebook croftsa Fri, 31 Aug 2007 19:40:38 +0000 entertainment games kids technology supplemental activities educational materials k-12 geography http://www.center.k12.mo.us/edtech/resources/SBsites.htm tomderis Wed, 18 Jul 2007 06:55:03 +0000 science earth geography social studies history math communication arts classroom tools tips resources http://www.kidsolr.com List of Resources (websites) - various elementary subjects tomderis Wed, 18 Jul 2007 00:06:58 +0000 math art music games language arts geography space weather language history safety science special education animals http://www.boingboing.net/2007/07/12/cbc_posts_dr_who_epi.html I spoke with a friend at the CBC, and he was very sympathetic to my concerns. The BBC -- producers of Dr Who -- insisted on the region- locking and streaming only, as well as the four-week window (significantly, this is a much better deal than the BBC gives to Britons, who are required by law to pay a hefty annual fee to support the BBC -- they only get seven days to see old episodes, and have to use a DRM- crippled product called iPlayer that only runs on Windows). battis Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:31:23 +0000 drm copyright streaming intellectual property geolock geography science fiction cory doctorow bbc cbc doctor who http://www.elbruz.org/islands/Islands and Lakes.htm Recursive combinations of largest lakes, islands, islands in lakes, lakes in islands, and so forth... battis Wed, 13 Jun 2007 03:47:37 +0000 recursion geography humor http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/06/10/131-us-states-renamed-for-countries-with-similar-gdps/ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a convenient way of measuring and comparing the size of national economies.
