    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.

    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!

    Research rich source. I like the section for afterschool/parent resources. Also the student interactive portion is another resource for interactive whiteboard lessons.

    Looks like a great tool to use on a smartboard.
  • Joan Krzyzanowski on 18 Sep 11
     
    I agree with using this on the whiteboard. Also, the graphic is simple and non-distracting, so kids who have a problem with visual perception would have an easier time with the visual organization using this tool.

    Good option when you do not have access to a more robust graphic organizer program. The export option works with out registering with the site.

    Very much like webspiration but free! Does not appear as easy as webspiration but once you use it a while I am sure it will become easy to use.

    You can collaborate, embed comments, websites, pdf. It's a pretty good tool. I would put this at the top of the list and would choose it before picking a lot of the others.

    Oooh..this is such fun! It's a Beta version tool for creating interactive charts, maps, plots, diagrams, etc. Great visuals in 2D or 3D with thanks (by publisher) to the Google Chart Tools team. Your creation can be posted/shared, printed, emailed, etc.

    Looks like a good way to show the students how to make charts, too.
