- "Where
In The World Am I" is a wonderful project that not only meets Illinois
State Standards in Geography and Technology but also encourages higher
level thinking for students. The project allows students to use real
life skills in geography while at the same time exposing students from
around the world to different cultures and environments. The Internet
is wonderful tool that exposes students to other cultures and environments
that they wouldn't have the opportunity to experience otherwise. The
project was design to encourage students "love of learning"
in both the Social Sciences and with Technology. With the growing use
of technology in everyday life, it is important that students have exposure
to it and understand the power that it posses for learning. In the end,
hopefully students will continue to visit this site to see the posting
of other students from around the US and the world while at the same
continue to sharpen their geography skills and continue to get exposure
to different cultures and environments. In conclusion, I always tell
my students that one of the most important skills they should master
in life is the ability to read and locate items on a map. This skill
will not only save them time, but will also fill their lives with less
frustration in the long run!!!
