Summary of the app


Using the data you have collected above, explain why you would or would not recommend this
application for use in the classroom. Include any specific ideas you have for its use.

I enjoy the functionality of Nat Geo World Atlas. It provides an interactive Earth that
students can roam freely discovering multitudes of information focused on their
assignment, whatever that might be. I would use the application to begin a discuss on
continents or specific countries.
