Show-Mapping Worlds, a new way to look at the U.S. and the world. Rick Hodges, Content Manager, says, “Our site (actually two in one) presents hundreds of data sets about the 50 US states and world countries in animated map form, and allows downloads of data and images.
“It’s a free resource for research, teaching, presentations and slideshows, etc. Maps like ours help you see numbers in a new way–literally. By the way, we plan to offer the world site in six language versions soon. Also, we are about ready to roll out a lesson plan for teachers to use the site as an educational tool in the classroom.”
Give it a try. You may find a something just for your classroom, home schooling project, or other project. Here’s the embedded version:
Thanks Judy. I hope people take advantage of our free embedding – the maps are animated (just click on the circular arrow in the middle to see what I mean) and they show the numbers for each state or country when you run the mouse over them.
Our lesson plan is ready now! You can get it at http://www.slideshare.net/SHOWmaps/show-lesson-plan-1142416
