Anne - thanks for the link to strange maps! The map by internet use was very cool and I can use this in a coming lesson on changing technologies - comparing it with the poverty map.

And while we're on the subject, this is my favorite map blog: http://strangemaps.wordpress.com I guess I like the strangeness of it. I use these maps in intercultural communication classes, as discussion starters to illustrate the challenge of recognizing that not everyone shares the same perspective. Nice!

Visual aids are a must in the classroom. I think another great use might be to have students create their own posters with this tool marking a global issue to perhaps accompany a presentation or speech!
