Geo-literacy extends far beyond knowing where places are on a map. National Geographic Education has put an emphasis on geoliteracy, which entails spatial thinking skills and understanding systems in addition to content knowledge about locations and places.

Africa may have achieved independence, but the old colonial ties are still important as France’s decision to send troops to Mali to fight Islamist extremists shows. Via Seth Dixon

This is a useful information for history studies. Let the students discuss the colonial era.

Also interesting--airline flight routes. Alitalia goes to Ethiopia and Libya, Air France to West African countries, etc.

@ Don Brown Jr. It is possible this will help them better understand the need to help place local women groups to lead the local efforts of relief distribution, and work towards correcting the ongoing need.

Infographics can be infinitely useful in persuasively conveying important data. I especially appreciate this, considering I make them myself!

Languages, just like cultures, are incredibly dynamic and have changed over time. Many people like to imagine an older version of their own culture of "how it used to be" or even "how it's always was." This is an illusion though, to pretend as though cultural change is something new. This fantasy allows for people to nostalgically yearn for what once was, even if that perceived pristine past was but a fleeting moment in history that was shaped by many other peoples, places and times.
