    We all want what’s best for our children. Part of that is making sure that when they are on the internet that they are doing more than playing games.  At our house, if they want to be on the computer (30 mins max) then they have to be on a site that’s educational. 

    One site that I recently discovered that fits that bill is My Wonderful World.org.  The site is being promoted as part of Geography Awareness Week (Nov. 16-22).  The site invites you to take your children on a virtual tour around the world – from the comfort of your own home – with www.MyWonderfulWorld.org, a National Geographic-led campaign to give kids the power of global knowledge. 

    On the site kids can take a geo-tour of global hotspots on a virtual globe, including  polar regions, coral reefs, and great cities. They can even explore earth’s marine ecosystems as they pilot an underwater vehicle.
