Italy is looked at as being an independent country but yet during its growth has always had separate regions. most of the regions speak Italian but are all different dialect of the major region which can be frustrating trying to travel town to town. So, they have a real challenge on their hands to get them to become more unionized.

K Rome's curator insight, October 6, 2018 7:56 PM

This is just one of my favorite "start of the year" videos.  I've compiled them for when you need to show the importance of geography, spatial thinking and geo-literacy.  Collectively, they show why taking geography courses is so important, useful and interesting.

The Geography and Area Studies Interface from WWII to the Cold War

The Geography and Area Studies Interface from WWII to the Cold War | Education in a Multicultural Society | Scoop.it
From americangeo.org - February 22, 2017 2:38 AM

"The [importance of this study is that it] examines the dynamic between geography and area studies through their distinct understandings of space. As I argue, the dominance of the regional concept in geography, which took the multiple ways of bounding space as its central problematic, was reduced in area studies rendering of global space. This study assesses the transformation of geography during the two decades before and after the Second World War. This era was one of contrasts. On the one hand, geography was central to the war effort and in the creation of post-war programs, most notably area studies. On the other, this era also marked the relative marginalization of geography as a discipline in higher education."

Just getting familiar with ArcGis and lots of ideas picked up at #ncss16
Olivia Campanella's curator insight, September 5, 2018 4:09 PM
This map is a very helpful, useful and fun guide on how to get the most of this website and to learn about geography and different places and facts of the world. 
Dominic Mappas's curator insight, June 5, 2019 6:41 AM
This source allows its viewers to select countries to direct them to a series of topic links. This allows the audience to interact and explore the world through visual representation of the globe. I can see this being implemented for warm up activities, quizzes and practice questions. Great source!
