World Mapper - A new way to look at the world

World Mapper was introduced to me by a student teacher a couple of years ago.  It is a visual mapping site that uses categories such as population trends, diseases, spread of wealth, and a hundred or other options.

Name of Website:  World Mapper
Website:  http://www.worldmapper.org/

The maps can be used for all types of instruction in the classroom.  For instance, the map below is one showing the population trends of the 1500s.

Or you can look at Rabies deaths in the world.

The maps can be either downloaded as a high resolution pdf, or can be linked to your website.
According to the website they have around 600+ maps.

This website is great and I love to use it in class for all different applications.

Enjoy!
