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.

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…

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.
