  This article discusses new, innovative, educational products that can be used for teaching geography and history to make the subject matter fun. To steer away from books, maps and globes, there are more exciting teaching methods and tools such as puzzles, games, high technology resources, projects and hands-on activities. The article looks specifically at 4 new educational products that can assist in teaching these subjects. First there is the interactive smart globe which provides several facts on geography, politics, etc. It can be programmed based on age and grade level. The benefit of this globe is that since things change worldwide continuously, the database can be upgraded by being connected to the internet. This allows the information to keep up with the changes of world affairs, politics and geographic borders. Next, there are the 3D Atlases which allow children to explore landmarks in 3D. Third, there are many history and geography games that are interactive, such as puzzles and brain teasers. These are good ways to teach and there are many sources and ideas provided online. There are even telephone apps that have interactive games in this subject matter. Lastly, there is the geography cookbook which is a kid-friendly and educational teaching source. Not only can children cook, they'll be learning about regional recipes and ingredients. Overall, this is a relevant source since teaching has taken a turn away from being led by teachers, and there is more of an emphasis on student based learning. These interactive activities and technological products can assist in teaching in our continuously modernizing schools. The article specifically targets parents and teachers, providing ideas of how to teach these subjects in a way that will encourage children to learn.
