Newspaper Map

If you are teaching about another country in your class, you might find it interesting to pull up an  online newspaper from that country and have it translated into English (or French or Spanish or whatever).  Well Newspaper Map will do that for you.  First go to the site by clicking here.  Next click on the Newspaper Map icon (like at the top of this post) in the top left hand corner to populate the global map of all the newspapers.   Next put your cursor on the map and move the map to center it and left click or scroll to zoom in on the coloured  dots/balloons  in the country or location you desire.  If you click on them a box should open up with the newspaper's name and the language you would like it to translated to.  Done.  Seeing that today is Halloween, I selected Transylvania Romania to see what I would get.  See below.

Geography Genius

This is a game where students are shown a flag of a country from around the world and they have to guess from a list which country it is.  If they want when that flag is done the can click on the "Learn More" link to, you guessed it, learn more about that country.  To play the game, click here.

This game is produced by Taking It Global.  It is a great organization to learn more about what you can do as a teacher to empower youth about global matters, either click here or watch the video below.
