Map the Way to Improved Geography Skills

The internet gives students access to people and information from all over the world. But does your teen realize that a friend in Frankfort is in Kentucky, not Frankfurt, Germany?

To strengthen geography skills, challenge your teen to:

• Map social connections. Which of your teen's social media friends lives the closest? Farthest away?
• Use a city map and a bus or train schedule to plan a trip from home to a point of interest via public transportation.
• Use a topographic map to plan a hike. Your teen should note the elevations and geographic features along the route.
