Douweosinga blog has this great tool that allows you embed how many states you have visited or how many countries world wide you have visited as well. I can see using this as geography project or as a math project where you use the numbers from all the students in a statistical analysis.

Maps, Maps and More Maps

Ever stumble upon a great site and go wow, where was this a week ago? Well I think I found in this site on maps. It has old maps, new maps, online maps and interactive maps from the housing crisis to a long long time ago. The University of Texas Libraries have created a vast database of maps that are either public domain or have been given permission to use for educational purposes.

An Exmaple of these wonderful maps:
