💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

We know that educators who relied on the The World Factbook as a reference for teaching geography are reeling at the news that it has been taken offline.
We've put together a collection of other free, online resources that can help fill that gap, along with our best regional geography lessons (which are also free!)
Take a look and please share this with your educator friends.

We recommend Landfill Harmonic for Classical Music Month. Follow the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a Paraguayan youth group that plays instruments made entirely out of upcycled garbage, in a true story that combines the power of music and the power of recycling!
Our Landfill Harmonic Curriculum Guide is great for collaborative project-based learning, with lessons for elementary and middle/high school that span Community Service, Environmental Science, Language Arts, Music, and Social Studies,
Landfill Harmonic is a great choice to teach for Classical Music Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Earth Month, and all year round.
