* Great current resources for the geography classroom from Seth Dixon

Seth Dixon from Geography Education Scoop.it! fame has put together a supplementary resource which links all his 'found' websites to geographical themes and/or places. His new site is designed for geography students and teachers to find interesting, current supplemental materials. To search for place-specific posts, browse the interactive map. To search for thematic posts, see http://geographyeducation.org/thematic/ . Also you can search for a keyword by clicking on the filter tab at the top of the page.
