Find Your Place In The World’ Is Theme Of National Geography Awareness Week
Nice to see that the National Geographic Society (NGS) is hyping Geography Awareness week. In doing so, the NGS is offering up a free, downloadable World wall map to the public. Continuously celebrated since its founding in 1987 by Congress, this year’s Geography Awareness Week features an online Blog-a-Thon, a series of local and national events and a new website (www.GeographyAwarenessWeek.org) that provides a broad range of opportunities for the public to get involved, including downloading a free National Geographic map of the world. The Geography Awareness Week Web site offers students, teachers and the public access to games, activities and lessons about mapping. The site features contributions from National Geographic and partner organizations such as Google and ESRI. See more HERE
