This site too is linked to Brainpop jr, but it is for older students. Again excellent site (but costs) click on the 'free stuff' icon to see what you can use for free. Very suitable for Stage 2 to Stage 3, perhaps even Stage 4
This is a very cool website which compares various measures of quality of life and standard of living compared to Australia. You just select the countries at the bottom of the page, then it will display various facts compared to Australia eg. use of electricity/oil, life expectancy, birth rates etc.
Thanks Mark - just sent it in then. I am liking diigo also. Looks like a handy little tool and have set it up to send through to delicious also. May become my social bookmarking tool of choice!!
