True North: Site-of-the-Week
True North was created by the Minnesota Historical Society in conjunction with Minnesota's Land Management Information Center and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The goal of the website is "to provide Minnesota's teachers with the knowledge, curriculum, and tools to teach the state's new graduation standards for geography and history, using online digital resources and applications."
If you click on Lesson you will find lesson themes for grades 4-8 as well as 9-12. They also provide information on workshops and additional resources.
The Maps link may be a little confusing for the first time user, but the help section is pretty straightforward in explaining how the system works. There is valuable information on Minnesota history, people, natural resources, places, products and transportation in these maps.
Take a little time and learn something new about Minnesota!
