Polar Husky is an educational website that uses interactive participation from students to a group of educators who embark on journey’s that highlight people and regions of the arctic.  Photographs, journal entries and streaming video are the mediums that they communicate with the students.  There are also curriculum guides and teachers forums for continuous questioning and exploration of subjects.

Contains free games for a broad range of skills.  Games are fun and engaging.  I let my students play their choice of these games as an anchor activity if they’re done early.  There are a lot of geography games/interactive worksheets.  These aren’t games that will teach your students though, they have to know the material and then be allowed to test their knowledge with the games.
