Where is the Middle East?
My geographic knowledge is laughable. My public school education required no geography curriculum. How I wish it had! I break out in a sweat if confronted by a "Where is that country (or state) located?" question.
So when I tumbled across this learning tool I was intrigued. It's a puzzle map of the Middle East (and more). You click and drag the name of the country to the spot you think it belongs. You get a bong sound when wrong and a happy noise when correct. The puzzle aspect helped me by engaging me more than staring at a map would. For all of you with similar geographical shortcomings who would like to know more about the region of the world from which many a news story is generating, try it out.
