Shepard Software

This is not for anyone under maybe 6th grade (I'm making an educated guess.) But I am a geography nut every since Van Ness use to let us play "Map Game" back in the dark ages, where we had two teams and 2 students faced away from the map (local, national, then finally world)and were given a town to find. Whoever found it in the 2 min allowed then their team would get a point. I loved it. Then we moved on to states and capitals. To this day I can say all of them in order in 3min but try for 1 and a half min. Except for Montana, is it Billings?

Software Title: Geography Quiz
Grade: 6 to 12
Subject: Geography
Platform: Both

This may not be appropriate for youngsters after all. Just because I had a blast doing the quiz (like trivia) doesn't mean that students might go into one of the other links on this site. I would sit with students when they did this, if I allow them to use it at all.
