    This is really cool! Thank you! I teach World History so it will come in very handy. It's very hard for students to know the geographic locations much less the size of a country. I will using this site quite often

    Hi everyone, the webiste that Ilike to use for various reasons is http://www.ifitweremyhome.com/
    I like this site for a variety of reasons. It can be used by both teachers and kids. You can link to the maps on the site and it has an overlay of the country you are looking at and the United States. It has pretty cool facts, most are from the CIA Factbook (also a fun website). You can compare all sorts of economic and political information. For that matter, I would also recoomend CIA Factbook website for many of the same reasons:
    https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
    Cool stuff and you could direct your students to there and have questions pre-made or just have them jot ddown some interesting facts/data. Play around with both of these sites. Both are failry easy to use, just click on the country you want to explore and go from there.

    Wow. This site is AMAZING! I'd love to use this in conjunction with a few of the texts I teach that are written by international authors who write from a cultural perspective than that of my students. Thanks so much for sharing!
