Ever come across a site so addictive that you spend a bundle of your precious time on it, exploring, clicking, learning, and thinking? This is just what happened when I came across these two sites that I simply had to tell you about:
1. Geocube is a 3D virtual cube. When you click any side, it spins, and offers you choices in the blocks for any theme or topic on geography. This is no boring geography cube: you can learn about social displacement, environmental impact, geopolitics, and resource scarcity. A must try for both Sustainable Resources and Social Studies buff alike (though you
certainly don't have to be one!)
2. "Out of My Window" is an interactive peek into several of the world's highrise apartment windows. Inside, you'll see how people live their lives in some of the great cities of the world, including Johannessburg, Sao Paulo, Montreal, and much more. The lives are fascinating, funny, and in many cases tragic. A documentary is behind the site, so check it out; it promises to be more captivating than the online presence. See the trailer here.
