Description

The Internet has become one of the most efficient and useful ways to obtain information on a particular subject. Geography Resources in the Electronic Age provides basic information on how to navigate the Web and helps students to quickly identify the appropriate geography resources. Approximately 500 reliable sites listed alphabetically by topic are reviewed. Each site review provides details about the best (and worst) features, specific grade range, and how to use the site for research. Geography Resources in the Electronic Age saves students, teachers, and librarians time in finding the Web's best geography resources. Topics are chosen based on the national geography curriculum, and the Web sites are reviewed by a geographer. Expanded coverage offers information specifically for educators, resources for special needs students, a list of museum and organization Web sites, and information on careers in geography.
