    Excellent resource for geography. I particularly like the map making guides at the bottom of the page. It outlines the core information and content that students should know.

    The Center for Global Studies is based out of the University of Illinois. Their resources primarily come from the University of Illinois but they also have videos and research submitted from other places. Always check the source! I find most of the information to be useful when thinking about world history and global studies type courses.

      The site relies on a lot of different sources but National Geographic is a reliable source. There are great tools here for teachers to take current issues and make them relevant in students' lives. You could use the site for research, inspiration and/or to get students involved in local community issues. It's great for a civics, current issues and/or geography class.

    I absolutely LOVE the National Geographic Website as a social studies tool. I've specifically used it in civics classes or geography classes for students to study current events, but the options are endless. They have videos, pictures and great information.

  • Explore the world in 3D from anywhere.

      The site relies on state of the art technology and satellite imaging. Students get a fantastic look at places in 3D, so that locations are not just places that students have to imagine but they can visit. It is really useful to teachers because they can pull up this information in class. The site is also useful for geographical concepts because students can see terrain and topography.

    Google Earth is a fantastic way to take students to any country in the world! As long as you have a computer and a projector, students can have amazing images of different countries. They also have features to help you study topography and maps.

      Teachers can use this as a model for lesson plan and most importantly understand what kinds of lessons are compelling to students.

  • Proving Grounds: School “Rheeform” in Washington, D.C.
  • Michelle Rhee is the exemplar for Duncan's school “reform.” What's really happening to children and teachers in D.C.?

      An interesting and not often heard take on Michelle Rhee's reforms in Washington D.C.

    While this is not directly a lesson planning website. I think it's really important for social studies educators to understand the issues that students, teachers and schools are facing. In order to be informed and powerful in our work, we must understand the entire context.

    The site is useful way to think about issues of tolerance and how to thoughtfully apply them to the classroom.
    It also provides some great historical documents and perspectives not found in mainstream lesson plans.
