Canadian Geography Links for Teachers

I thought I would make a list for geography as well. Hopefully you'll find these links useful!

Something for every age group from the popular magazine:
http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/

A pretty informative site:
http://www.yourcanada.ca/geography/

Natural Resources Canada (provides example test questions for any age group):
http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/auth/english/learningresources/quizzes/index.html

A cool competition with which to get your classes involved:

A great resource for teachers:
http://www.ccge.org/

Feel free to let me know of any others you might find!

Link to Canada History Game

Thanks to Lawrence here is a link to the first finished part of the game I blogged about last week. You can download and play for free. Enjoy!

Canadian History Links

This website provides a very detailed history of Canada which breaks things into eras and other categories that would be very useful for students to understand the various connections in history:

This is the blog by the creators of the previous website:
http://canadahistory.org/

The source of the infamous "A People's History" videos:
http://www.cbc.ca/history/

An extensive resource for Canadian history including very useful and detailed timelines:
http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCETimeline

This site provides a list and description of a number of Canadian content movies that would be great in the classroom:
http://www.movingimages.ca/catalogue/Canhistory/Canhistory.html

A great site with links where students can learn about and discuss Canadian issues in new ways and with other young Canadians:
http://www.histori.ca/default.do?page=.index

One of my favourites, it gets young Canadians talking about  important issues:
