Let me know if you know about this site:
www.visualgeography.com
Pick the part of the world you're exploring, then click on a flag to see pictures of the country, currency, sports, food etc.
You can also click to hear a sample of the spoken language.
I came across it while helping my son Matt - an alum of Mr. Priest's class - find an image bank for a project he's doing on Haiti.
The site was mentioned in a teachers' site for technology education.

Paul,
Very nice site. I am going to forward this to our seventh-grade social studies teachers. I can see students take to this site quickly with the visual layout and linking structure... great photos. It also looks like they offer you an opportunity to post photos of your own upon request, making the site a dynamic and living source.
I have also found some tremendous applications within GOOGLE, GOOGLE-Earth... it seems as thought there is a new gadget with teaching implications every week - may help. If anybody at home like playing with numbers, comparing statistics, or tracking information GOOGLE has a simple app. call Google-Statistics that allows you to search a term and see the number of worldwide Google hits on topics over the last 5-10 years...
