On my way to work this morning I was walking merrily to the beat of some glorious eighties tunes, per my typical Tuesday, when suddenly I came upon a giant Geography Awareness Week banner hanging from the National Geographic building!

While it might be obvious to all those passing by the corner of 17^th and M streets in Washington D.C., for the rest of you out there: Be sure to mark your calendars for Geography Awareness Week,  November 16^th -22^nd.

This year, My Wonderful World is celebrating online and “in the field” across the nation.  We’ve launched a new website with daily activities highlighting five essential themes of geography:  human geography/cultures, physical geography/environments, geotechnologies, global hotspots, and careers.

Students, teachers, parents, and the everyday geo-lover can take interactive tours of polar regions, coral reefs, and growing world cities with Google Earth, play fun games, hear stories from young people living and working abroad, and even lend their voices to a global climate pledge. Make sure to keep up to date with the latest action here on the blog as well. We’ll be posting several times each day of the week, featuring guest bloggers from the UN Foundation and ESRI (to name a few), and highlighting comments and photos from our Facebook group (join now if you’re not yet a member).

Get excited and keep coming back for more Geography Awareness Week updates!
