It must be the timing of when third graders learn certain things. Recently, I read a post by Karl Fisch about a geography project his daughter is engaged in. My son, who is a third grader here in Texas, was just assigned a similar project where he needs to gather information from around the country and the world. Specifically, he chose to send the actual paper request to our good friend in Oregon (who also happens to be a middle school social studies teacher). Since we lived there for nine years, it was an obvious choice.
So, in my most transparent (and shameful?) manner, I am going to flatter Karl with imitation (and maybe some extra Map 2.0 stuff) and ask you to post some information about where you are from. There are two places to make your mark...
- Ben's Geo-Journal Wiki Page (similar to Karl's) to post information about your area of the world.
- Ben's Geo-Journal Google Map where you can post a place mark from where you are.

I added a bit to the wiki, but I just can't figure out where to click to add a place mark to the map. Where should I be clicking?
Ann,
1. you have to have a Google account and be logged in.
2. You click on an Edit button once you are in the map and then click on the place mark button.
Hope that helps. Thanks for the contribution.
Thanks for the help. I think I forgot to sign on to my Google account. Glad to help out.
