This long list of geography resources was posted on a yahoo group that I belong to… Bringing the World to Your Living Room

It looks really neat and I only had time to look at one or two links.  I can’t vouch for all the links but I hope you get some good ideas and resources out of it.

I started using Galloping the Globe with my 2nd grader and it’s good. My oldest (in 8th grade) would like to do something similar except on a deeper scale.  I’d like to add in Window on the World, which came recommended by missionary friends of ours.   I really like to incorporate history/social studies and geography together. I’m looking for ways to do that without “reinventing the wheel”.

{Maybe this would be a good place to insert the following information: I need to change what I’m having my 8th grader do for history. I think we will be able to come back to what she was doing (hopefully), however it’s not working at this time. I’m learning that it’s okay to change, even though I really like the curriculum. }

Resource Central has this extensive list of geography links.

Do you have good resources–books, ideas, sites, etc. for social studies, history and geography? Please share them in the comments…then I’ll know you stopped by and we can all benefit from your ideas.
