I'd like to introduce a selection of websites that help you explore the world...
1. Google World Wonders Project
I found this new project to be so incredible. This website allows students to explore palaces and castles, cities and towns, and archeological sites. From the archaeological areas of Pompeii to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, Google’s World Wonders Project aims to bring to life the wonders of the modern and ancient world. Using Street View, 3D modeling and other Google technologies, Google has made these amazing sites accessible to everyone across the globe. With videos, photos and in-depth information, you can now explore the world wonders from your armchair just as if you were there. Check out the video below:
My students have played the Free Rice vocabulary games in class, but there is also a cool section devoted to geography. It is possible to quiz yourself on World Landmarks, Flags of the World, World Capitals and Identify Countries on a Map. For each correct answer, you earn 10 grains of rice to help end world hunger through the World Food Programme - how great is that? Free Rice also offers a number of articles to help students understand the latest issues in the fight against hunger. Be sure to select the "Subjects" option at the top of the Free Rice home page to find the Geography options:
3. Toporopa
Wishing you could pack your bags to go to the Olympics this summer? Intrigued by European monarchs or history? This site provides dozens of challenges to quiz students about all things European. I found this site is particularly colorful and fun. See how much you know!
