It’s a globe (or a map?)

What is going on in this photo?  Visit Mapping our World  (a site from Oxfam in Great Britain) and have your students transform a globe into a map (see the photo above). There are two other interactive lessons with projections and how our location shapes our view point.  I saw this site on a SMART Board blog– if you have SMARTboad access, you might want to scan this blog for ideas (I did like the Smarter than a 5th grader one! I did get an access warning in the district- but I was able to play the site. I think the blocked content is an advertisement.)
