Free Wall Maps to Print - Geography Awareness Week

National Geographic sponsors & highlights:

Geography Awareness Week 2009, with its theme of "Get Lost in Mapping: Find Your Place in the World" was kicked off on Sunday 15th November 2009.


"The Geography Awareness Week Web site offers students, teachers and the public access to games, activities and lessons about mapping. The site features contributions from National Geographic and partner organizations such as Google and ESRI. Visitors can learn about mapping at home and at school, as well as experiencing geospatial technologies and learning how to become "map activists." Visitors can explore maps of all sizes, from high-tech to low-tech, and can download a free poster-size National Geographic world map for the bedroom or living room wall. Google Earth tours offer virtual interactions with fascinating people and places, and engaging videos explain how today's geospatial revolution is changing everything from shipping to warfare."
