Welcome to the Geography page

 

Geography and anthropology are not that distantly related in the social sciences. Geography has some many facets that you can study many things and lump them under the general title of geography. Here are my geography links. I miss teaching geography.

 Asia - Geography Online Games , is from Sheppard Software. There are great geography games that you can play here for free. Not just for Asia, but that's my favorite.

 Climate.org - A Project of the Climate Institute, is filled with information and articles on the world climate.

 David Rumsey Historical Map Collection, has over 11,000 maps online. They specialize in rare maps. If you love maps, you have to check out this site.

 Earth Album Alpha , is a simpler, slicker Flickr mash-up that allows you to explore some of the most stunning photos in the world courtesy of Google maps and Flickr. To begin your journey, just click somewhere on the map, e.g. "India". Note-- since the top Flickr images are used, the images change every few weeks; bookmark this site and check back for a different experience in a month! I put this in geography because where else can I put it. It really is cool to play with and if your students are working on social studies or geography research projects this is a great place to get some photos to add to their blog, website, or research paper.

 Geni Web Project: Annotated Geography Websites, is a good site to get just what they claim to give you for students from elementary through high school.

 Global Warming: The Pew Center on Global Climate Change, is a site dedicated to the issue of global warming and the climate.

 Life Expectancy History, has tables with the world life expectancy rankings for 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2009.

 Multimaps.com - Online Maps to Everywhere, is a very cool, and free, map site.

 nationalgeographic.com, has lesson plans for students from K-12.

 National Geographic Explorer, is a student magazine filled with all sorts of cool stuff for students studying geography.

 World Atlas and World Maps, is a place where you can get free maps of various countries, the world, the oceans, as well as other geographical information. I just used this site and it's good.
