Geography Using Technology

We are running out of ideas to teach geography creatively. Any cool ideas on how to teach geography using technology?

Here are some fun ways to teach geography using technology...

The first website we found teaches students where continents and oceans are on a world map. The website for this site is: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/world_geography/world_G0_1280_1024.html

Another interesting website we found was one that allowed students to become penpals with other students from around the world. Teaching kids geography using penpals could teach them the culture, location, and language of their penpals. The website for this is: http://www.studentsoftheworld.info/
