    I love this site! I could see kids getting into this as grammar practice instead of taking notes and doing a worksheet. Thanks, Lisa!

    Today we're looking at GEteach [Google Earth PLUGIN required.] , a site developed by 9th-grade Geography teacher Josh Williams. The site uses the Google Earth Plug-in to give you quick access to a wide variety of information such as the CIA Factbook, population densities, and various other human and physical geographic overlays.

    This looks like a great site for teaching and learning geography, history and some science topics. I checked the Terms of Use and there is no age limit. Your can play the games anonymously. However, to make a game you need to sign up for an account. All you need is an email. I can definitely see a good use for this for teachers to make games for students. However, I think it would be really cool to have students create games based on curriculum topics. This could be a good intro to learning simple programming such as Scratch.

      Take a current topic, like the Olympics, how could you tie that into a lesson? Stats, geography, charts, science of sports, language, etc.
  • 7. Review what they’ve learned.
  • The recitation of these ideas helps students to process what they have learned.

      If the students have a place to share the videos with friends and classmates, they will. Which will further develop the pool of common knowledge.

      This is crucial for those student who live in towns that are not in those areas, because they may have no reference point for those types of terrain. What a great way to build background knowledge before geography lessons or even before reading a story that takes place in these settings! I love Google Maps/Earth!

    Many games for students to practice everything from SATs to multiplication tables to geography. Also some good "thinking games" to keep their brains (and yours) active!
