 * Knowing geography can save lives (See the story about Tilly Smith and her story of the Asian Tsunami of 2004)**


 * Link to the video [|//Asian Tsunami Disaster.//]**


 * Studying maps, knowing distances, seeing obstacles and being able to prioritize actions are skills learned in geography. Give these skills a test and then try to improve your time in managing ambulances in a make-believe town.**
 * Remember Geography isn't just where places are and knowing all the capital cities. Though this is an impressive skill and it does show time spent memorizing these seemingly important bits of information, it is not critical thinking of any meaningful sort. Watch the video, again, that is posted below, and look at this link to [|Capitals of Every Independent Country]. //How many differences can you note between the video and the website? Which do you think is more accurate and why?//**
