In an effort to bring new resources that are useful to many classes across the school I will be focusing on CultureGrams.
CultureGrams is a leading reference for concise and reliable cultural information on the countries of the world. With world events increasingly affecting our lives, it's more important than ever to educate students about the world around them, and for college students and business people to stay up-to-date.
