    By playing Sheppard Software's geography games, you will gain a mental map of the world's continents, countries, capitals, & landscapes! You can learn and practice by continent or by state. There are three levels.

    This is an amazing website. There are engaging and interactive lessons and games for students of differing abilities. This would be a great site for my classroom of students with special needs who need some exposure to world geography but in a simplified and engaging manner.

    Not only can this site be used as a whole class lesson but children can access independently with different skill levels.

    I also enjoy having the various games and the various levels. This would be great for students who finish their work and can practice various geographic skills!

    The games help the student learn in multiple ways visually and auditorially. There are prompts to help the student along. I like it!

    Within this webpage is a link to Real Lives. It offers a free trial but it is subscription based although it looks like it could be used across curriculum areas. Real Lives is a unique, interactive life simulation game that enables you to live one of billions of lives in any country in the world. Through statistically accurate events, Real Lives brings to life different cultures, human geography, political systems, economic opportunities, personal decisions, health issues, family issues, schooling, jobs, religions, geography, war, peace, and more!

    Excellent resource site. Like the featured Apps for older middle school and high school.

    The Real Lives simulation brings the curriculum content a meaningful timely format.

    This is a great tool for students to explore the world. They can learn about human and physical patterns, and make their own maps.

    This is a great site for geography. You can see the climate, population information and lots of others factors. You can also make your own maps.

    This site has some very basic graphic organizers such as daily assignment recorders and outline planners for writing. It also has some more detailed items such as geography patterns that can be printed and used for cut & paste model-making (eg. prisms, hexagons). The 1st 5 items are free, but after that you're directed to a 7 day free trial or a subscription deal (now only $39.95/yr!)

    Good resource for printable graphic organizers for a variety of purposes. No need to re-invent the wheel!

    There is a subscription but also a lot of free printables.

    Hurray, forms I can type on. Look under "printables". Looks like you could use the graphics on a smartboard, too.
