Five programs of education, you must download

This is a list of five training programs that can be fun. Education programs are not just for children, people of all ages can enjoy these programs and benefit from learning new information. Here are five programs that, in my opinion, you must download it. They are in no particular order.

1. Seterra

This is a fun little program. Seterra has many different exercises to learn geography. For example, there are questionnaires on country capitals, state capitals, major cities, country flags, mountains and volcanoes, etc.

My favorite is the exercise where you try to identify many countries, by clicking on a blank map. It's a great way to get good at identifying the country.

In addition, the program also keeps track of high scores, so you can compete with family and friends. And best of all ... it is completely free!

2. Google Earth

It is a program that many people have heard of. But I had to put it here because if you have not used this program seriously, try it! Google Earth is a very comprehensive information surprising. And there is so much information constantly added.

With Google Earth, you can view satellite maps of the world. But not only that, you can see pictures of the world (about 360 views), links to youtube videos, links to Wikipedia entries, traffic conditions, etc etc etc

Seriously ... In the meantime, it would be for me to explain what Google Earth May you all have already downloaded. Just go download it.

3. Real Lives

This is a fun little program. Basically ... you to live the life of a person in the world. You can choose the country and create your character or your character chosen at random.

For some, this May seem a little like the Sims, but it's not like The Sims at all. Real Lives you can not see your character. You have no control over its daily operations. Each round simulates one year. But you can choose your characters career, leisure, finance, relationships, etc.

When the educational value which is the amount you are trying to learn to succeed in your character in the various countries. The country where you live really affect how your character does. For example, in the past, I had characters in the United States, which very well career wise. I had other characters, in Africa, who died in the early years of the disease. I also had people who were involved in social activism that has been made in different countries with dictators. As I said, the country of your character will affect the lives of many of how they live, and in the process, you will learn much about how people live in the world.

The only drawback of this program is that it is free to try. Unless you buy, there is a screen with a delay. But I recommend checking it out. And I want a challenge? Try to create a character in a country like Somalia and bring them to live until they are 80. Good luck on that one. ;)

4. WorldWide Telescope

It is a program launched by Microsoft. I will keep the simple description of this program. Basically, you can see a real map of the full nightsky real images. Think like google earth but looking at the sky. See a galaxy that is in the sky that you love? Find on this program and zoom to find photos near the galaxy's Hubble telescope. If you have any interest in astronomy, download it!

5. MyHeritage Family Tree Builder

This is a major program of construction of your tree. I really like this program and I used for some time now. I imported a large number of databases GEDCOM into a huge database of my tree. I have thousands and thousands of family members listed on it. How am I bound by some relation to who lived 200 years ago across the country? This program will simply say that the product line and how we are related. Very very cool. For more information on your tree, I recommend you check Rootsweb.com

I hope you enjoyed this list. Remember, learning should not be boring. There are many ways to have fun and learn new information at the same time. Have fun! :)
