A guide to the academic discipline of geography and its relationship to sustainability studies, with links to good websites.
Interesting atlas that displays the size of nations relative to a variety of statistics. The pictures are very powerful illustrators of global statistics.
This map helps students visualize the time, significance, and location of hundreds of events in American history.
This is a great program that is an on-line adventure learning program that follows a dog-sledding expedition originally started with Will Steger (this year is Finland, Sweden, and Norway and starts in about a week). 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!
The following maps were produced by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, unless otherwise indicated.
That's why we started My Wonderful World. It's a National Geographic-
led campaign—backed by a coalition of major national partners—to
expand geographic learning in school, at home, and in the community.
We want to give our kids the power of global knowledge.
Statetris is an interesting game mixing aspects of the popular game 'Tetris' and geography. Instead of positioning the typical Tetris blocks, you position states/countries at their proper location. Fun, challenging and educational!
Nothing can be understood apart from the place where it occurs. 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.
