Great site for anyone teaching maps. Users can key in a location, see an image, then pan and zoom to isolate particular features. Works fine with a 28.8 connection, but be patient, lots of others are using this service. There are interactive atlases, forums for discussion, exhibits, and geography standards to review. The story links have real depth and are well written for easy comprehension.
Pictures make the history come alive and support the information given.
There are links to particular events of the day, a daily quiz, and a picture of the day. This is a collection of resources created by the Peace Corps. While the content was originally designed to accompany a videotape series, most of the information can easily be used without the videos. Content is based on cultures of several different continents in which the Peace Corps has been active, and the presentations and activities are geared to specific grade levels. Inc.
