= Resources to enhance the teaching and learning of social studies content in the classroom: = Epals [|www.epals.com] This is a free website, created by ePals Incorporated, that allows global collaboration amongst students, teachers, and academic experts. This site allows students and teachers the opportunity to connect with others around the world through e-mail and video conferencing.

Geography for Kids [] This website is published by Kids Know It Network: Network of Children's Learning Websites. It is a great tool for older elementary students (grades 3 and up) that includes geography and geology online games. My students have used it for practicing latitude and longitude but there are more games that students could use to practice skills learned in these two areas.
