Two Great Blogs

Here are two blogs I found that will be useful to me!

1. http://blog.mywonderfulworld.org

This blog is affiliated with National Geographic. It includes menu options for "educators" and "kids", which interested me the most. I found the articles were interesting and included great photography. One of my favorite finds was "field blogs". First person accounts from many world locations!

2. http://geolounge.com "All Things Geography"

This blog also has some fantastic photography and a mix of really interesting posts on all kinds of geography topics. For example, did you know that Monopoly was used during WWII by the British SS to conceal escape maps? Or that there is an inflatable Earth Balloon 20' in size that depicts true color satellite imagery? Love to get that on display at our school!
