While working on some coursework, I stumbled across an old favourite website of mine: National Geographic! I have always loved perusing this site, especially for their photographs. But now looking at this website with teacher eyes, I think that it holds some great interest-piquing prospects! There is a significant amount of Canadian content, especially with the focus on climate change and the Arctic right now. This is a great website for students to explore. They usually provide lots of other links for further reading, and deal with some excellent material. Of course, it's not all golden, and there's a significant amount of advertising, but generally, it's a great resource to add to the collection. A bit like a history and geography mind-meld, it's great for social studies regardless of your teaching area. I'd encourage you to take a look through the entire site!
