How did you connect with your collaborator? I really feel that Geography and learning about people and place is extremely important and is way to often pushed to the side in today's public school system. My wife, who is a teacher at the school, agreed with my viewpoint and we thought this would be a great opportunity to get kids more involved with Geography.
