While I was searching around this week for a new history related website I cam across Interactive Maps which is a website that has tons of interactive maps which can be downloaded for free. I thought it was really cool. Its downfall is that it focuses solely on the US but could still be used when talking about different states or in a political science/geography course. When you click on the map of the US you can click on any of the different states and then find out a ton about each state like its economy, political standing etc. I think that if you were teaching a class on the different states in a geography course it would be fun to assign a state to each of the students and then have them research it and do a simple presentation. I thought it was pretty cool. Enjoy
