Three new map sites have been added to my “Maps for Kids” LiveBinder.

From the site: “Historypin was created by the social movement We Are What We Do, in partnership with Google.

We Are What We Do is a global social movement that creates ideas, products and tools that make it easy for people to make a difference to big social and environmental issues.

Historypin is one in a series of projects created as part of We Are What We Do’s campaign to get generations talking more, sharing more and coming together more often.

There has been a major trend in different generations spending less time together. Which is a shame. Old people know stuff young people don’t. And young people know stuff old people don’t.

While they’re using Historypin, a lot of young people will be asking older people for photos, and a lot of older people will be asking young people when to click and when to double click.

From the Site: “Browse local data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, based on samples from 2005 to 2009.”

The interactive maps present the distribution of racial and ethnic groups, income, housing and families, and education across the United States.

From the site: “Dimensions takes important places, events and things, and overlays them onto a map of where you are.”
