Travel the World From Your Classroom!

I actually created this powerpoint for my Geology class, but I thought it could work for here also. As teacher, especially with today's current economic state, I believe we need to introduce students to places far away and much different than what we're used to. Many students will not travel or know the world beyond Indiana, or better yet, beyond their immediate hometown until they are adults themselves. Because of this, I think teachers need to introduce students to world beyond their own. Just small powerpoint or video clips on different, unique, and interesting parts of the world. For the PowerPoint I created, I chose the location called "Giant's Causeway." It is located in Northern Ireland. I found it by searching "geological phenomenas." Here is what my powerpoint looks like (now keep in mind this was for a college class and some information would not be necessary to add for an elementary class.)
