Since there does not seem to be any site that brings together (for the benefit of teachers or parents) web-based educational materials relating to the history of maps, a systematic search was carried out on the web. No responsibility for the content of the sites linked below can be taken by the author of this page

On each page you'll find definitions, activities, 4 good starting points, and many more links and resources for the thematic topic.
In some cases, we've listed more than four websites on a particular topic. For example, we might provide a few for younger readers and others for more advanced learners.
Each school, classroom, and teacher is unique. As such we didn't try to provide specific activities for particular grade levels. Instead we suggest that teachers explore each link, then design specific, developmentally appropriate activities such as discussion questions, small group activities, or webquests to fit the needs of their curriculum.
The links on this site are safe for children.
