My Top 5 Resources for Teaching Geography Skills
By Keith Heggart

Content: these are for geography skills, and are aimed mostly at primary or middle school students, although with a bit of clever adaptation, they could work for older children too. Here are my 5 best resources for teaching geography skills: 1. Google Maps
This one is the real game changer for teachers. There is literally so much that can be done using Google Maps - and so few teachers make use of the fantastic possibilities available. You can build tours, you can measure distances, you can look at directions and compare different kinds of maps. The potential is huge. Do yourself a favour and check out the education page to see what can be done and to be inspired: http://maps.google.com/help/maps/education/
2. Ordnance Survey
The Ordnance Survey website is based in the UK, but it contains some brilliant kid-friendly activities that are sure to encourage students to learn more about geogaraphy.
