I picked more than 3 links because I found so many that I liked I found it hard to pick only 3.
GMU Geography Department - Link to George Mason's Geography Department website. Find faculty, research and career information, among other things.
Geography 310 Class Blog - Link to our class blog. You can find all the links for Geog 310 blogs here.
USGS Geography Site - This site has information on geography in our changing world, job opportunities, and much more. There is also a very nice imagery gallery and a featured science section that I really like, with articles on a range of topics.
National Geographic Map Machine - This site is great because it gives you so many option to view the world in maps. You can look at road maps, satellite imagery on maps, physical maps, disaster maps, weather maps and so much more. I have always loved National Geographic for their photos and articles which you can also get through the featured places section under the world map.
World Atlas.com - Here you can find great maps on continents, atlases for travel, student, featured maps, facts, a link to find out what time it is anywhere in the world, its a great site to explore and get lost in. I think this would be very useful in this and any geography class.
Wikipedia Geography Article - I think this page is great because people from all over can put information into an article making it more useful. This article gives the history if geography as well as explains with example the types of geography.
Test Your Geography Knowledge - This is an awesome site because you can click anywhere in the world and get a quiz on a map and knowledge of that area or country. This page could have helped Ms. South Carolina with her answer.
Maps and Map Games - Here you can find state capitols quizzes, jigsaw puzzles, and games for each continent. At the bottom is a Super Quiz Map Game- you have to be able to answer which country (anywhere) is high-lighted. Just more cool ways to test what you think you know.
