GeoQuest
Take a virtual trip around the world and meet new friends with GeoQuest Virtual PenPals!
During this step-by-step learning experience, students will gather information about their community creating a series of five digital postcards. Friends of the Montana World Affairs Council from around the world are busy writing their digital postcard packs. You and your students will be able to internationally trade postcards--learning about geography, contemporary culture, history, and global good news. Extension activities and teaching recommendations are included in this program.
The GeoQuest program is designed to get students excited about countries and is geared for grades 4-8th but can be scaffolded up or down!

Q: How much does this program cost?
A: It is FREE! The Montana World Affairs Council is dedicated to providing all resources to Montana schools for free.
