I wanted to Thank Steve Bass for helping us with the link for the U.S. Map game on the www.wherekids.com website. He also had some great suggestions for other fun Geography games.

Steve's site is http://blogs.pcworld.com/tipsandtweaks/archives/004145.html

Per Steve
You may be interested in a more sophisticated mapping program, also appropriate for mid- and high-level classes. It's the States Web Games available at http://snipurl.com/maptest.

A tough one is the European map, and that's available at
http://snipurl.com/maptesteurope.

You can find different levels of the mapping game here: http://snipurl.com/web_gamesYou might also try the Animated Atlas Growth of a Nation at http://www.animatedatlas.com/movie2.html.

I also recently found http://www.mentalfloss.com/geographyzone/ and it's good, too.On another note, I want to tell you about the book I wrote.

It's PC Annoyances: How to Fix the Most Annoying Things About Your Personal Computer. It's a popular book for all levels of computer users, and many schools are using it as a textbook in both middle and high schools. Check the details at Amazon at http://snurl.com/annoy2 .

Thanks Steve!!!!
