About a week ago I emailed LM_NET for some 2nd grade map web sites. Several people 
have asked me to post any hits I received. Below are the hits. Thanks for all those

Hi there,

   For students needing geography practice and/or remediation National
Geographic has three games, all have time limits:

Continents Game: Basic "Name that continent" and click on it.

Countries Game: you pick a continent and it asks you where the
 countries
are within that continent, you click on it and are reinforced or
corrected.

States and Provinces Game: You pick either the US or Canada and are
asked to find the state or province and you click on it and are
reinforced or corrected.

They are all fun and motivating. This might be useful to use for
remediation or practice of basic geographical knowledge.
