Countries I’ve visited map

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I learned how to make the following “countries I’ve visited” map thanks to Damian Currier’s Flickr profile.

create your own visited countries map
or vertaling Duits Nederlands

Very cool! This is free, and the website gives you HTML code to embed in any website.

Tools like this can offer lots of possible geographic connection uses for this in the classroom, but be careful because of “other links” available from the site. (See Sylvia’s comment below.) Students could keep track of countries of people they are collaborating with, and then keep their own map up to date. Insert this on your school webpage, blog, wiki, or wherever! (BTW, PBWiki now has a new feature that lets you add HTML code by using a button on the editing toolbar. POWERFUL feature!)

I’ve also included this map on my own Flickr profile.

On this day..

Be sure to look at the site carefully before sending students. There is a link labled “new” that goes to a “collective story”. This interactive fiction is user generated and has some inappropriate parts. Today anyway– that could change. It’s also boring and probaby not of interest to kids, but fair warning.

Good catch Sylvia, I had not thoroughly checked the links. I’ve made a change to my original post, encouraging people to be wary and see your comment.
