They say the world is shrinking, but there's a lot to learn about countries and the people in them. How many students can look at the spinning globe in the front of the class? Well, one or two. Fortunately, teachers don't need a spinning globe anymore to conquer geographical illiteracy.

• Smarty pins
• Geoguesser
• Maps from the Top
• Can You Draw the States?
