[비공개] Diving in
As summer begins to wind down, the temperature still remains high in some places (in the Northern hemisphere, of course). Cool waters call out to those who would leap in, momentarily letting gravity have its way with them, pulling them down as they flail, shout or twist. Collected here are a handful of photos of divers around the world, showing their professional artistry, daredevil bravado, or ..The Big Picture|2010-09-04 01:50 am추천 -
[비공개] Mission:Explore--Endangered Geographies
My roommate, another National Geographic Education staffer, first introduced me to the Geography Collective about a year ago. An artist who does a good deal of graphic design work for our group, she was enamored with the playful design of the website. We both fell in love with the Collective's revolutionary approach to engaging kids in real-world learning through "guerrilla geography," and pledg..My Wonderful World Blog|2010-09-03 03:42 am추천 -
[비공개] Afghanistan, August, 2010

[비공개] 478 - The Shotgun Tracts of the Lower ..
Your average shotgun shack (1) is only as wide as the single room it spans, but as long as all the rooms it consecutively contains. If you’d be so inclined, and if your aim was straight enough, you could fire a shotgun through the entirety of the house and have the bullet exit through the back door without hitting anything. That story might say more about relaxed local attitudes towards th..Strange Maps|2010-08-31 02:16 pm추천 -

Muslim men and women across the world are currently observing Ramadan, a month long celebration of self-purification and restraint.

[비공개] Remembering Katrina, five years ago
Sunday, August 29, 2010 will mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall in Louisiana.

"...Young people can use media to learn about places close to home and far away. The connections they form seem to shrink the physical distance that separates citizens around the world, even as they can reveal disparate experiences and inequalities that young reporters examine through their media stories."
