Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not good for our homeschool.
The program comes with a set of large maps but they are too big for my home printer. I had to pay to make copies. I could have ordered them from the publisher but they come in sets of 30 (or so) of one particular map. It would be good if it was possible to order sets like the sample set.
The maps are very hard to use. We tried to outline and label the counties of Asia and found it almost impossible to locate countries because rivers are included on the maps and they muddle the borders. ... Read More
Rating:  - Needs more help with implementation
First of all, the enclosed video with this product is really more of a promo; it helps very little with using the course.
Secondly, the written material is put together like a menu. The "appetizers" are some fun and easily implementable activities to help kids gain an overview of geographic concepts.
The "desserts" are different ways to output the learned material.
However the "main course" in which I expected to learn HOW to teach my kids to "map the world by ... Read More
Rating:  - good program, but not complete
I bought this program because of rave reviews I had read. The intro video is very impressive, which features the teacher who created the program and his 7th grade class. It will motivate you to teach your student(s) geography.
However, when I started to use the program, it was not complete. It assumes you already have some idea of what you want to teach, and it gives you enrichment ideas to teach in creative ways. I am only starting the program, so I will get back to you when I have used ... Read More
Rating:  - The cure for America's Geographically Illiterate Youth
I am a 7th grade teacher from Madison Wisconsin. I have used this program for 12 years. I teach about 150 kids each school year and all of them, from the very brightest to the very lowest ability children, learn it in their own right. We practice one continent at a time and learn mnemonic devices to reinforce newly acquired knowledge. For example, the phrase "Cute James Hates Doing Puzzles" represents the Caribbean Islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico in order from west ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing Results
I used this curriculum with a homeschool co-op. I taught twelve children ranging from grades 4-12. Our "before" world maps from memory hardly contained any information and very unusual continent shapes and locations, even the one done by grades 9-12.
As we mapped and labeled each continent, we also did a study of the history and culture of the countries in each continent. Every week, each student researched a different area of each culture and gave oral presentations in class.(these ideas/activities ... Read More
