Draw and Annotate Google Maps: Scribblemaps

I am doing Geography with my kids at the moment and obviously we use Google Maps quite regularly.  I recently discovered ScribbleMaps and now use this as my default Google Maps application as it offers everything that Google Maps does but has a handy little tool kit overlay that allows me to scribble, annotate, type or whatever I would like to do over the top.  That is as simple and as complicated as ScribbleMaps is but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

Atlapedia - A nice alternative to Google Maps

Google Earth and Maps are brilliant classroom tools and you can find some great ideas for using them in the classroom here but Atlapedia is a nice alternative for geography students who wish to view traditional maps and explore countries around the world.

Atlapedia Online is a great reference for students to use by themselves, or educators to use in the classroom. It contains full color physical maps, political maps as well as key facts and statistics on countries of the world.
