Geography

I think it's important to know about the the world, and to have a good idea of geography. I think most people feel that way, but most people also can't name all 50 states of America or all 13 Canadian Provinces and Territories, much less all of the countries in any given continent.

Sheppard Software has a plethora of fun free online exercises to help you become more familiar with the world. I have worked on the Canadian Provinces and Territories, Asia, The Caribbean, Europe, The Middle East, and Central and South America. Right now I am trying to learn the Mexican states, and I hope to conquer Africa and Oceania soon. These games are a fun way to quickly get to know the geography of a continent. It usually takes about fifteen minutes for me to become very familiar with the location of countries in any given continent.

There are different levels available for learning the geography of whatever part of the world you are working on. There are nine levels, and each one challenges you in a different way so that you can become as familiar as you wish with the area that you are working on. You also have the option to work by regions, or by the entire continent. There is the to option to work on learning the capitals of countries and states/provinces, and the option to work on learning the landscape, surrounding oceans/seas and the main rivers of the continent. There are enough tools available to you for you to become very familiar with the far corners of the world.
