In this first part of a series about free technology resources available on the web, Tom Barrett discusses the use of online mapping tools in the classroom
Online mapping tools have come a long way over the last two to three years. Tools such as Google™ maps and more recently Bing™ Maps from Microsoft® have changed the face of mapping services.
No longer are they just about directions and mapping functions; utilising rich layers of information and more and more detailed imagery, they now provide great opportunities to support learning in the classroom.

Ummapper worth including in the list. Ive used this for formative assessment of place knowledge, as children can create their own dart games and let their classmates play them/compare scores. It also allows you to make your own weather maps, tweet maps and use customised designs where all the mapping functions are there but you are using them on the image of your choice www.umapper.com
