In the Classroom

During a unit on deserts, introduce this site on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Then have students explore this site independently or in small groups. Have cooperative learning groups create multimedia projects. Have students use a mapping tool such as Zeemaps, reviewed here, to create a map of desert locations throughout the world (with audio stories and pictures included)!
