Each year I start with Geography because students are awful with it. Students complete and study maps of the world (oceans, continents, select countries), North America (oceans, countries, mountains/rivers), and New York (surrounding states, geographic features, Erie Canal). THIS YEAR, I want to go paperless because of COVID. Does anyone know of some good online geography resources where I could have students complete this work online?

Do you have access to VR goggles? If so, there are a ton of apps that you could use with them and students truly retain because they “see” what the areas look like. They are mostly free and National Geo has some fabulous free ones. Also, Discovery Education does as well.

I don’t have VR goggles. I’m looking more for kids to know where certain items are located vs what they look like. The googles sound great when I’m looking at a specific spot though (like when I cover the Alamo or Independence Hall). Thanks for the idea.

Discovery Education is great if your school has a subscription. If they don’t, urge them to consider it. Great for all learners, but especially ELLs & SWD.

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well
