Dear Educator:Imagine seeing dancing lemurs, watching a baby iguana scuttle up a tree, or hearing a National Geo-graphic explorer tell her own story. Now you can!
This month, I am so excited to announce our new interactive editions. In these robust, engaging editions, students don’t just read an article—they experience it. Chock full of videos, audio, photographs, and interactive graphics, the interactive editions add a new level of engagement to the issue. The interactive editions are also accessible on computer and mobile devices, including tablets, to support your 21st century classroom.Starting in March, I invite you to check out the free sample of this month’s issue at ngsp.com, then place your order for the 2012-2013 school year.I know you’ll be just as excited as we are!
