Self-Awareness

Pick a favorite region, explore and delve into it. It well help users learn about their environment, while comparing it to other.places on the map.

Flexibility

Global perspective is a trait that many people do not understand until later in life, after traveling, reading, and experiencing different people and places. But using Barefoot World Atlas can give users a head start. Users will learn how geography affects culture and forces people to adapt. Users are encouraged to "step into the shoes" of someone in another culture, and try to imagine life in another country. Not only does this broaden one's worldview, but it also brings out facets of the flexibility thinking skill -- traits like adapting, accepting change, and realizing differences in people and places.

Social Studies

But if users open Barefoot World Atlas and click on a the place they are learning about, it will be much easier to visualize historical events because now there's a point of reference. If users can visualize what a country looks and feels like, they will have a much easier time understanding they way that history unfolds.
