Test Your Geography Knowledge on the GeoBee Challenge App

March 3, 2014 by admin

Screen Shot 2014-03-03 at 8.25.10 AM The GeoBee Challenge iPad app from National Geographic is an excellent app that students can use to test and develop their knowledge of world geography. The contains more than 1300 questions about physical and political geography. Each round of the game presents the questions in a different manner. In some rounds students see a picture of a landmark and have to tap the country containing that landmark. In other rounds students read a question and tap the answer on the map. And there are rounds that simply present the name of a location that students have to locate on the map.

The GeoBee Challenge app is designed for elementary school and middle school students. Registration is not required in order to use the app and multiple students can use the same installation of the app. GeoBee Challenge is currently (March 3, 2014) available for free, but its regular price is $1.99.

National Geographic World Atlas for iPad

January 30, 2013 by admin

Screen Shot 2013-01-30 at 10.35.52 PM The National Geographic Word Atlas for 2013 is currently available as a free iPad app. I recommend grabbing it while it’s free. The app features a globe that students can rotate, zoom-in, and zoom-out. When students zoom-in on a country they can open a panel of location details to discover some basic information about that country. The details pane for each country includes information about the country’s population, geographic size, culture, and government.

The app is currently free and worked without a glitch when I tried it. It could be a good reference app for elementary school and possibly middle school students. Some reviews of it are not positive. For that reason I’d grab it as a free app, but I’m not sure I would pay $1.99 for it when it goes back to regular price.
