    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 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.

    That last comment by Abby was really from me...ooops!
  •  
    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!

    This was voted a favorite for Gp. ! You can make a timeline or sequence using templates or your making your own. There are tools to display the timeline in different visual formats. You can add background pictures, sound and music, photos, and links, too. Links can include Google Earth and files from other Google sites. Easy to use!

    I love the Google 3-D super modulers;Historical Sights and Buildings. This would be great if you were doing a fieldtrip to Boston and for the students to see the 3-D model of what the building looks like prior to going.
