Visual resource

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.
