I've taught with Bible Atlas programs since 1992 when I first used the DOS version of Parson's Bible Atlas. What I discovered then was that the teacher needed to create guides through the material that side-stepped the arcane or academic stuff. Kids like a good hunt. That's what Sandals Atlas allows them to do. You will preview and pick the tidbits out of the database and texts, and guide them to it via questions on a worksheet or discussion.
Worksheets turn maps into treasure hunts.
Create a set of who, what, where, and when questions followed by WHY. 3. Ask questions about terrain. Ask questions about how the terrain shaped the story. The answer is surprising and illuminating once you view the video on this area. Remember to EXIT the first CD before taking it out of the tray and putting in CD 2.
