A Giant Map: Educating others about geography in a big way.



For those who are into geography, maps is an integral part of the subject. It would be something that is quite fun. It would be even more intriguing to see such a geographic representation in a much larger size. Schools across the USA are finding ways to spark an interest in geography among the students. One way of doing this has been using giant maps. Basically, you can walk on these maps. Rather than just reading these maps from a book, one can walk on the map. It feels like one is literally walking on the earth. It can give a person a different perspective of the earth.

Below is a video of pictures of such a map.
