Placeopedia.com allows users to connect Wikipedia entries with their
geographical location. What a great way to see what landmarks/historical
entries are located near your home town. It allows anyone one to place
entries on the map, so if your area is blank you can search Wikipedia
for local landmarks and place them on the map yourself. And if the local
landmarks are not in Wikipedia, it would be a great start for your
students to research, edit, and then publish their entry on the landmark
in Wikipedia.

We’ve all come to love and rely on Google, but I was alerted to a
new site today, Clusty. This search engine takes your search query,
and “clusters” the results into different search topics. For example, I
did a search on “volcano”, and not only did it give me a list of
websites for volcanoes, it gave me some categories to help me refine my
search. These categories included:
?Hawaii (36)
?Volcano Observatory (20)
?Volcano information (16)
?Geological, Survey (12)
?Earth (16)
?Movie, Review (16)
?Kids (15)
?Flows (11)
?Mount St. Helens (9)
?Safety, Images

I could then click on any of those to see URLs in that category. Try it
out at http://clusty.com/.

Can’t think of what to write, maybe the Imagination Prompt Generator
can help you get started.
