The world at your fingertips

Here are a few resources to start finding information for your country presentations:

Google Earth - A way to find your country on the globe and look at actual aerial photos of your country. If you haven't heard of your country before, this is a good way to literally get a "lay of the land."

National Geographic - This is the official webiste of National Geographic magazine. The links on the left include Maps, Music, Photography, Travel & Cultures, and other headings that could help you to find information about your country. It also contains up-to-date world news and searchable archives.

CultureGrams - This website describes itself as "concise, reliable, and up-to-date country reports on 200 cultures of the world." It is just that: it contains a searchable database of numerous, often very specific, aspects of the countries' cultures.

Best of luck as you design your presentation about your country and, as always, feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, comments, queries or complaints.
