Maps!

One of the things we work on in library education for elementary students is map skills. I want to make this as engaging and enjoyable as possible so I use a lot of online tools along with the atlas, globe and other maps. We use google earth, google maps and several great websites for kids:

PBS kids has some great map skills games: http://pbskids.org/arthur/games/gogeorgego/index.html

If you like maps, this is a very fascinating blog : http://cartophilia.com/blog/ a man documents his love affair with maps. there are maps of everything on this website: baseball affinities, bicycle races, middle earth, the internet. I love maps too! One of the things I really love in fantasy novels is when they contain a map of the world at the beginning of the book. I will sit reading that, imagining that for awhile.

I also like mapping of silly concepts like the http://www.xkcd.com/ map of online communities. pretty great. (http://store.xkcd.com/xkcd/#OnlineCommunitiesPoster)
