**[|National Geographic Education]** (Diversity Resource)

National Geographic Education (Beta) is still in the early stages of development but it has great potential to be a rich source of geographic information for educators and students. This site provides videos, images, activities, articles, mapping tools and other online resources to help students and educators learn about the globe. National Geographic Education is a diversity resource because it is designed to help educate students about global issues and foster cultural understanding in the classroom.

[|National Geographic Education] could be used...


 * for a web quest. Students could each be given a continent and they would have to list all of the countries on this continent and discuss the regional topography, countries, weather patterns, ecosystems and other features of this continent.


 * to help students learn about cultural traditions and experiences outside the U.S.


 * to help students learn about challenging issues effecting the globe: famine, war, poverty, natural disasters, climate change...etc. This site encourages students to think critically about global issues by providing reflection questions after documentaries.
