I explored some different map sites this week. My favorite site was http://plasma.nationalgeographic.com/mapmachine/ I liked this site because it was more than maps. There were some pretty cool interactive maps (like the one that showed the spread of the black plague). It was also fun to explore the solar systme and see photos of the surface of mars and read facts about other planets.
The other site I liked was
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/
These maps were a bit more traditional and not interactive, but there were some typical map features like land use, topography, and population. But there were also some cool history timelines. I know there are lots of other map sites, but these were two of my favorites.

These are very cool map sites. I posted them to my delicious account and tagged then "maps", so I'll have sites at the ready when students are looking for maps. Very cool! -Janet
