I have heard it all too often said that the "national ___ day" was invented by the greeting card companies to sell more cards... Well here's a new one - Geography Awareness Week! Brought to you by National Geographic Education, it's a fun celebration of places around the world. Haven't found a greeting card for it but their website does provide a mission Booklet and Teacher's Guide. There is even a Badge Certificate and Stickers for students.
The 2012 celebration week is happening NOW, November 11 to 17. National Geographic is celebrating with all kinds of geography education aspects including Mission: Explore, Declare Interdependence, and Guerilla Geography.
Check it out via Safari: www.geographyawarenessweek.orgNational Geographic has a wonderful array of APPs for the iPad too. Unfortunately not for free but rather a nominal $1.99
Keeping with FREE for education resources, there are some 5 star rated FREE Apps on geography that can be downloaded from the APP store.
