At Luther College, we have ordered maps a short while ago and here are some sources--other than the FL teacher catalogs like Gessler, Teacher Discovery, etc. Check out Nystrom (we have an older catalog); call them 1-800-621-8086 and get a new one. They have oodles of maps and transparencies, and teaching units for just about everywhere. They are trying to be a big multimedia geography developer too. Another source to check is Rand McNally: their phone is 800- 678-7263. Their two websites are: www.K12online.com and www. randmcnally.com If you have a projection system for a laptop or desktop in your class, you might want to just shoot on the wall the maps that are in something like Encarta or Microsoft Bookshelf's atlas, or the Compton's CD Atlas or the Encyclopedia Britannica CD. Another source to check is the National Geographic Society homepage; they have a CD-based Atlas set that may be of help, too, in addition to their many maps. No doubt others can add to these few items. Happy mapping!! Dennis D. Magnuson Assoc Prof of Span & Dir, Lang Lrng Ctr Luther College Decorah, IA 52101 tel (319) 387-2160 [log in to unmask]
