Building Geography Literacy Through Educational Games
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
Much has been written about the poor knowledge of geography of Americans. For example, in a survey, 63% of respondents could not identify Iraq on a map. Fewer than half could identify New York and Ohio. If we really believe in the flattening of the world, then it is more important than over to ensure we (and our kids) are global citizens.
Today, at RamoGames.com we’re releasing a bunch of games to help improve our knowledge about geography. They include games covering, Africa, Asia, India (we had to do this one given the origins of our name!), Europe, North America, and South America. They are suitable for all ages, and we even predict that kids will do better than adults in some of them.
Let us know your high score in the comments and we look forward to hearing your feedback!
