Discover the world with Matt Lauer?

There is a great new online geography game available @MSN Live Search Club..featuring Matt Lauer from the Today show. This is an extension of his TV geography travels: "Where in the world is Matt Lauer?"

This would be a great activity for your students to use during your computer lab time or as an after school assignment/project. This could also be a great way to get your students' families involved as well. It's a great online game site and I've spent MANY fun hours trying to figure out where Matt Lauer is myself!!

Enjoy!!!!!

"Statetris" geography game

Sharing a fun link to a geography "tetris-type" game that recently caught my attention! This would be something your kids could do in your computer labs to "engrain in their brains" locations of states/countries, etc:

GREAT GAME & LEARNING TOOL!!!!
(The directions to run the game....to use the cursor keys.... is scrolling
Slowly on the page where you choose the level of difficulty...kind of deceiving when you are trying to find the instructions.)
