| description |
Large CD-ROM collection or interactive education materials. ARGUS began in 1991 with the signing of an international agreement to develop and exchange accurate and up-to-date high-school geography teaching materials. In the following years, hundreds of individual contributors produced material for the ARGUS project in a variety of areas, resulting in a printed 88-page text, 35 classroom activities, 264 transparency masters, comprehensive teacher\\\'s guide, and lesson outlines. This CD-ROM version contains most of the original material. The ARGUS CD-ROM materials are in Macromedia Director Shockwave format, readable with a common web browser plug-in. The ARGUS materials can be taught by teachers with little or no geographic training. The ARGUS materials meet nearly every skill and content standard in the US National Geography Standards. |
