Here's another teacher tech article for you. If you are teaching or learning geography and want a fun, easy way to learn there is a web game called Statetris that is a simple cross between Tetris and name-that-state (or country for the Europe and Africa versions). Here's a screenshot of the U.S. version:![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V48_SiJm-_g/RtcK9BRL4HI/AAAAAAAABRU/bE1OVsqwMsI/s320/us.png)

This won't surprise my non-U.S. friends - we Americans stink at geography - especially beyond the U.S. I for one need some practice on the Africa and even the Europe versions. Matter of fact, I would guess many of my American readers would even have some trouble with the Canadian and Mexico versions (if there were these versions) of this type of game.
