EDUCATIONAL NOTE

iWorldGeography colors match American Montessori Society classroom materials.

iWorldGeography Series blends child-directed-activity design with Geography curriculum used in Montessori Childrens House and Lower Elementary classrooms. Concept and visual design is thoughtfully integrated to supplement existing curriculum and classroom materials. The series was inspired by 3-years observation in Lexington (MA) Montessori School Childrens House classrooms where MyWorld, TenSuns desktop-based version of this series, has been used since 2004.
