Ties historical photos to Google Maps, allowing you to tour familiar streets to see how they appeared in the past
Students can play for free - they are dropped somewhere in the world and have to use inferencing skills to figure out where they are! They can play the LITE versions (as many plays as you want per day on only 2 map - 2D only) or the CLASSIC version (requires a free account but allows one free play a day on 3D multiple map locations). A fun once-a-day challenge activity to see who in the house can get there first!
This fun, free, interactive game teaches your student (and adults) all about government and civics! They've even got an election game called Win the Whitehouse.
