You may be familiar with Google Earth but may not have the ability to install their free software on your computer, either because you are not permitted to or because your computer is not powerful enough to handle it. Try Flash Earth for a simpler tool to explore the earth as you teach geography to any age from kindergarten to seniors. Perhaps you just want to quickly show which way the Conestoga wagons crossed the U.S., or maybe to show where in the world a current events story is taking place. This simple tool, on a projector or interactive whiteboard, is just the trick.
Note: You MUST have FLASH on your computer.
In the Classroom
Use a projector or whiteboard to share a location as art of the background knowledge for a lesson. Be sure to add this link to your teacher web page as a reference tool, as well. Be aware that some world locations have much "fuzzier" satellite images than others. Always preview before your lesson to be sure you can show the features you want students to see. Show elementary students where their "neighborhood" is, perhaps even their streets!You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Explore the global economy through the International Monetary Fund's extensive collection of country information, economic data, reports, explainers, and educational materials. The IMF monitors economic and financial developments in its 191 member countries and focuses on economic growth, international trade, government finance, monetary policy, debt, financial stability, and economic crises. Students and teachers can use country reports and IMF datasets to explore current and historical economic information, including tools for visualizing and comparing economic indicators. The site also includes EconEd Online, a collection of student interactives, teacher guides, lesson plans, exhibitions, and background resources.
In the Classroom
Ask students to turn a set of IMF statistics into a visual explanation of an economic trend using Infographic Presentation Templates, reviewed here. Require students to include a claim, carefully selected data, and a brief explanation of why the trend matters. Invite students to become economic advisers during a simulated financial crisis. Give each group a fictional country profile and have students decide which economic problems should be addressed first, then present and defend their recommendations using evidence gathered from IMF explainers and reports. Have students examine differing perspectives on an economic policy issue such as government spending, debt, international lending, or trade. Students can hold a classroom debate or organize arguments and evidence with Kialo Edu, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This site is a much-expanded remake of the Peace Corps collection of lesson plans and activities for cross-cultural understanding around the world. Teachers can search for lesson plans by topic and region of the world. All readings and materials are included (many as PDF - Acrobat Reader files). Many lessons include readings that would also work well for teaching reading comprehension, especially for your less-than-proficient readers. Simply choose the area of the world for which you want a lesson plan, and you will see quite a list.
tag(s): cultures (302)
In the Classroom
Search for lessons on a specific region as you teach about it or use these selections as general readings for comprehension. Consider using a guided reading activity with a tool like Hypothesis, reviewed here. Hypothesis is perfect for introducing any reading passage to struggling readers, special education students, and ENL/ESL learners. The lessons may also be helpful in getting to know students who enter your classroom from other cultures. The lessons would be very helpful in developing background knowledge to understand cross-cultural literature selections in a language arts class.
This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.

Google Maps is a free mapping tool for exploring places, planning trips, and understanding the relationships between locations. Search for an address, landmark, or business, then zoom in and out or switch to Satellite view to explore imagery of the area. Where available, use Street View's yellow Pegman icon to explore panoramic views of streets and surroundings. These images are not live, and their age and coverage vary by location. Google Maps also helps users find nearby businesses, schools, parks, and other points of interest, get directions, and share locations or routes. A free Google account lets you save favorite places and organize them into lists. The service works in a web browser and is available as a free app for Android and iOS. On a computer, supported maps can be embedded in websites using the sharing menu. For creating custom maps with markers, layers, and imported location files, use the related Google My Maps tool.
tag(s): DAT device agnostic tool (134), directions (7), maps (222)
In the Classroom
If you teach geography, this one's a must. It is also helpful for showing students WHERE a story or news event takes place. In lower grades, use it to show students the basics of their community. Teach map skills by showing students their own community. Zoom in on their street or on the school. This site and its more sophisticated cousin, Google Earth, are great on an interactive whiteboard. Set up a class Google account (or use student accounts if permitted). Have students create their own custom route plans to tour historic sites. Challenge math students to plan the most economical route to visit several vacation destinations, including gas mileage and gas prices. Have students create placemark files of the important places in the life of a famous person or the route traveled by a particular unit during the Civil War. Have student groups create placemarker files to show environmental sites, habitats, landforms, or anything you can place on a map. Embed projects in a class wiki using the handy embed code offered as a sharing option. Not comfortable with wikis?

Start with an everyday pencil and turn it into an investigation of natural resources, production, and the origins of goods. This ready-to-go 45-minute EconEdLink lesson for grades 3-5 asks students to identify natural resources, compare resources found in different U.S. states, and explain how those resources are used to produce goods and services. Materials include presentation slides, a Natural Resources worksheet, a "What Makes Up a Pencil?" activity, an assessment prompt, and extension activities. Students use National Geographic Kids state information for research, work in small groups, and apply what they learn to the resources required to manufacture a pencil. An optional extension features the I, Pencil YouTube video and accompanying viewing questions. If your district blocks YouTube, the video may not be viewable.
tag(s): natural resources (35), resources (79), supply and demand (7)
In the Classroom
Have students use the lesson's Natural Resources worksheet to research one state, then present how at least one of its resources can become a good or support a service. The worksheet asks students to name the state, identify its natural resources, and connect those resources to resulting goods and services. Have students role-play parts of a pencil's production chain, with each student representing a resource, worker, producer, transportation step, or seller. Afterward, ask the class to explain why one person or location could not easily provide everything needed to make the finished product. Invite small groups to choose a common product such as a book, desk, cereal box, or T-shirt and create a resource-to-product flowchart using Infographic Presentation Templates, reviewed here that shows the natural resources and production steps needed to make it.

From glacier-covered mountains and temperate rainforest to rugged Pacific beaches, this National Parks Conservation Association page gives students a concise introduction to the remarkably varied ecosystems of Olympic National Park. The overview identifies the park's location in Washington, its 1938 establishment date, wildlife, waterfalls, Hoh Rainforest, coastline, and the restoration of the Elwha River following the removal of two large dams. It also reports current air-quality concerns and links to a substantial collection of NPCA articles, reports, conservation campaigns, personal park stories, and other resources on topics such as wildlife, climate change, natural sounds, park funding, and environmental protection. Because NPCA is a conservation advocacy organization, teachers can also use the page to help students distinguish factual park information from an organization's conservation perspective.

What happened to the colonists who disappeared from Roanoke Island? This National Park Service resource introduces students to the enduring mystery of the Lost Colony through a chronological set of readings about the English voyages of 1584, 1585, 1587, and John White's return in 1590. Students can follow the changing goals and difficulties of the expeditions, including relationships with Carolina Algonquian peoples, shortages, conflict, English-Spanish rivalry, and the clues left behind when the settlement was abandoned. A linked section on major theories asks readers to weigh evidence for possibilities such as hurricanes, famine and disease, Spanish attack, or relocation to the Chesapeake Bay, Albemarle Sound, or Croatoan. The combination of historical narrative, maps, images, quotations, and competing theories makes the resource especially useful for evidence-based history activities.
tag(s): colonial america (86), national parks (30)
In the Classroom
Assign small groups one theory from the Major Theories page and have them create an evidence chart listing facts that support the theory, facts that weaken it, and unanswered questions. Groups can then conduct a class hearing in which they argue for the explanation best supported while acknowledging uncertainties. Have students map Roanoke Island, Croatoan or Hatteras Island, Albemarle Sound, and the Chesapeake Bay with Google My Maps, reviewed here, adding notes that explain why each location matters to a theory about the colonists' fate. The NPS theories section specifically considers possible movement toward each of these locations. Invite students to examine the historical maps, illustrations, and other visual evidence alongside the written narratives, then annotate what each source reveals and what it cannot prove. Students can use Image Annotator, reviewed here, to create an annotated image that distinguishes observation from inference.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This internationally published news source makes for an excellent resource for a teacher or student looking for current events. There's information ranging from politics, global news, business, technology - even pop culture. This would be useful in any classroom where a knowledge of the now was focused on.
In the Classroom
Use this site as a resource for current events projects - assign students various weeks throughout the semester in which they are to be the class news reporter, keeping their peers up to date and informed. Have students research what's going on via this news site and present a small presentation at the beginning of class every day during their week. Students can either orally present, or for the technologically inclined, create a short video summarizing the same information. Have students create news briefs and share them using a tool such as SchoolTube.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
