Google has invited “citizen cartographers” to refine the U.S. map for Google Maps and Google Earth, using Google Map Maker to ensure the places you care about are richly represented on the map.Google Map Maker lets you add places, “lines” (like railroads or back alleys), and “shapes” (like a parking lot or Laundromat) to a map. Google has also embedded street-level images from Street View directly into Map Maker for easier navigation.

Information Literacy Games: Finding Kermit This blog post features a great video of Kermit the frog singing It Ain't Easy Being Green. It follows up with an explanation of a search game that can be used with the whole class in a lab or on an individual workstation. It's part of a free series of online information literacy / information fluency games available from 21cif.com. Finding Kermit was the inspiration for one of the first Internet Search Challenges created by Dr. Carl Heine. The task is to track down a picture of Kermit ready for graduation in the least amount of time. The search game is embedded on the page so you can try it without going to the main site. Many teachers use this as a whole class lab activity. Put up a search challenge and then it's off the races! Most of these games were developed for middle and high school students. Adults find them challenging as well.
