I was looking websites to use for teaching social studies. I found one that gives links to live video safe webcams around the world. There are over 15,000 webcams on this website from airports to national parks. Being able to view a different part of the of the world is important to teaching social studies since the student are able to see firsthand different cultures then their own without leaving the classroom. Many students may have the means to travel to different parts of the world, so by connecting the students to video will make the students realize that they belong to something much bigger than just their home state or country and this will help then become global citizens. 

                The teacher can use this website when teaching about geography and cultures. The teacher can play the webcam of a location that they are learning about for the students. The teacher can also play the webcam when the class has free time, this will make them feel that they have a connection with the whole world.
