New York Public Library Puts 20,000 Hi-Res Maps Online & Makes Them Free to Download and Use. When I was a kid, my father brought home from I know not where an enormous collection of National Geographic magazines spanning the years 1917 to 1985. I found, tucked in almost every issue, one of the magazine’s gorgeous maps—of the Moon, St. Petersburg, the Himalayas, Eastern Europe’s ever-shifting boundaries. I became a cartography enthusiast and geographical sponge, poring over them for years just for the sheer enjoyment of it, a pleasure that remains with me today. Whether you’re like me and simply love the imaginative exercise of tracing a map’s lines and contours and absorbing information, or you love to do that and you get paid for it, you’ll find innumerable ways to spend your time on the new Open Access Maps project at the New York Public Library.
The NYPL announces the release with the explanation below: The Lionel Pincus & Princess Firyal Map Division is very proud to announce the release of more than 20,000 cartographic works as high resolution downloads. Related Content: Teachers. Map. Shmoop. Louvre.

How It Works - 2nd & 3rd Grade - Classroom Economy. The classroom economy program is a robust classroom management system that benefits both teacher and students, and has minimal impact on the curriculum. Implementing the program is an easy three-step process: First, you spend a few hours before the school year starts—gathering materials and planning how to customize the program for your school and your own classroom.Second, you spend a few classroom hours in the first month of school introducing the program and training the students on how to complete their tasks.Third, you monitor the students' progress throughout the year and provide support and guidance when necessary.
As they perform their tasks, the students are rewarded for helping you manage the classroom efficiently. At the same time, they will learn valuable skills—such as responsibility, the value of saving, and delayed gratification—that they will carry with them throughout their lifetimes Through My Classroom Economy, students learn valuable life skills in an experiential way.
