What a valuable site! Thank you.

Great new mapping tool from National Goegraphic. It's in BETA, but already very good tool.

Find activities that develop map skills in students from preK to Grade 6.

Still in beta, but looking good.

Very nice interactive illustrating things like sea surface temperatures, tectonic plates, human populations - for any part of the world (I'm from Australia and it even had us covered!)

The overall theme of this teacher-tested unit is using maps to understand borders and their impacts in Europe. The materials will help your middle school students to use maps to think about how borders intersect physical and human geographical features, and how those intersections can lead to cooperation and/or conflict. The educator resources provided in the unit include maps, multimedia, and case studies that will enable students to develop skills in map analysis and apply that analysis to specific situations. Other parts of the unit will invite you and your students to explore similar cases in Europe and your own community.
