Basic+Geography+Skills

Post your lessons on basic geography skills here. This would include, but not be limited to map reading, types of maps, charts and graphs et. The first lesson I have posted is a SmartBoard lesson on longitude and latitude. In order to use this and other SmartBoard lessons, you must first download the software from the SmartTechnologies website. A license for the software only comes with the purchase of a SmartBoard by your school.

Any lesson that ends with ".notebook" requires SMART Notebook software. If you do not have a SMART brand interactive whiteboard you do not have the rights to use the software beyond a trial basis. =Latitude and Longitude=

 * [[file:Longitude and Latitude.kmz]]This is a Google Earth lesson. Clicking on it should launch GE, and a new folder will appear in the list of folders. Open it and work through the push pins in order.
