Include more interviews of students of students from the United States.
Hi CultureGrams,
My students were studying the interviews of students from around the world. They were creating a poll to compare interviewees favorite sports and subjects in school and their own classroom polls. They were so disappointed when there was not one interview of a student from the United States!

Charts & Graphs downloadable in other formats
I do a lot of teacher trainings on how to use CultureGrams in the classroom. The teachers are very excited about having the ability to have their students create comparison charts and graphs. However, sharing their creations out is problematic. Would it be possible to add a feature so that charts and graphs could be downloadable in formats such as jpeg and png? CultureGrams is a statewide resources for our K-12 students, so I know this feature would be useful for many teachers and students in Iowa. Also, it would be helpful to have curriculum correlation with the Iowa Core…

There would then be a exotic animals, insects, birds, warm blood, cold blood, and endangered animals buttons. For example, if you click the endangered animals button, it would take you to all the endagered animals. You click on one of them and then it would show where it is located in the world, the sound it makes, and abotu how many there are left. This would be about the same with the other animals. I…

We would love for there to be citations generated for everything, like the maps, or the Did You Know? on the landing page...
The maps and some of the information do not generate citations, so the students cannot cite the maps or the fun info on the main page.

Search for countries by language
As a teacher librarian, I promote CultureGrams to the world language teachers at my school. They often want students to do research on countries or people from countries where their target language is spoken. It would be very helpful for students to be able to search by language spoken. I think they would be surprised to see all the countries where French or Spanish is spoken.
