Globetracker's Mission: Locating Louie

"Globetracker’s Mission, an episodic story in blog-style format, takes students in grades 2-6 on a journey across the United States to learn standards-based geography, landforms, and map skills in an engaging, interactive context.

In each weekly episode, Geo and Meri, fictitious brother and sister techno-savvy teens, share new projector- or whiteboard-ready posts about their travels on a secret mission to find Louie, the missing mapmaker. Each episode includes annotated vocabulary terms and interactive maps for practicing map skills or answering think-aloud questions the teens pose as they use today’s tools: text messaging, cell phones, and blog-posting. Readers vote at the conclusion of each post, telling Geo and Meri what to do next. "
