  5. Introductory Country Videos

    Many of my students are new English Language Readers & Listeners. I am not certain that my students understand the Kids' edition. It would be nice to have a short (<5 minute) video introducing the country as well as some pertinent & popular information. This could be done for the country as a whole as well as by individual sections.

    Thank you.

  11. 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!

  12. Update the lesson plans.

    Please incorporate virtual tools and update the lesson plans. For example, my county uses pear deck, screencastify, flipgrid and tons of other distance learning tools. The lessons haven't been updated in years.

  16. U.S. Colonialism and Government

  17. Biographies/Famous People

    Will you please add a page for famous people and animals? My fourth grade students need this information for their research. Please note, I am not looking to duplicate the biographical databases. I am simply looking for a paragraph or two about famous people or animals. Of course, biographies would be welcome too.

  19. Include a quick-reference comparison to the US dollar in "Money/Economy"

    1) I like how the Kids Edition includes a link to "Money and Economy" - could the World Edition's "Economy" link also say "MONEY"? Some of my students switch between the two editions to find all their info.
    2) While I know not all users are in the United States, would it be possible to include a quick-reference within the Money link that shows how that country's currency compares to one U.S. dollar? My language teachers like to ask students to find that more often than extensive economic information.

  20. More audio files

    I noticed you have audio files that play foreign terms for some countries. It would be nice if you could add these to all of the countries.
