[LM_NET] Search: online atlas

[Nancy Voltmer <voltmer@NETINS.NET>]

        A teacher will soon be making an assignment for students to locate 
absolute locations (global address/latitude and longitude) of famous 
places.  Students will be given the name of the famous place and then 
will need to identify the city/country and the location.  This will be 
done online, but certainly could use print resources.  My question is 
-- Do you have a favorite website that you have used for an electronic 
atlas?  I have seen National Geographic, but am wondering about others. 
  This is for middle school students.
        I will post a hit.
        Thank you in advance.
Nancy
