Geography and
World Studies
Collection

Understanding human behavior through the lens of geography

Empower political, environmental, and
economic awareness

Active Classroom’s Geography and World Studies Collection empowers students to examine how physical and cultural geographic factors have and continue to influence human behavior worldwide.

Visualizing the world through multiple disciplines

Boost student knowledge of all the geographies—cultural, political, environmental, and economic—with content authored by a variety of expert authors. Even better, customizable lessons include in-depth teaching notes for ease of use.

Powerful tools to boost learning

Students can switch between zoom, full screen, and quadrant view to analyze maps and primary sources. And they can increase their level of understanding by choosing blocks of text to translate and words to look up in a traditional or picture dictionary. 

Gradebook included!

Track student progress on individual assignments and easily give oral or written feedback using Active Classroom’s Gradebook. Teachers also love the auto-graded multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank quizzes.

The platform integrates with Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and ClassLink. Ask us about other LMS.

We're at the ready to answer your questions about our Geography and World Studies Collection.
