"We use Maps101 as a whole class using the computer and the presenter, and we also send the website address home to parents for use at home as enrichment and/or homework. The students love the various activities!"

"We are using the interactive map section to enhance our studies of the French and American Revolutions. The kids get a much better understanding of what is going on with these Visual Lessons. I am using your lesson plans which go right along with our text and study of these two events."
— 9-12 Teacher, Brenham, TX


"I use Maps101 with my computer projector, using my laptop computer. I download the maps in PDF file, and then I overlay the 'without text,' and the 'with-text' maps. I project the maps onto my whiteboard and write a location (political or physical) on the projected WITHOUT text map. I then overlay the WITH-text map, and show them if they got it right or wrong. It's a good way for the whole class to engage on map locations, and to practice their skills."
