I just had my first opportunity to use Show World. One begins with a map of the world, selects a variable, and watches the countries get resized depending on the world distribution of the variable. The map above shows countries resized according to number of Broadband subscribers. There are many options for variables. I'm happy to have another tool for the visual display of data. Comparing and contrasting what we know (that would be the United States for most of my students) with what we struggle to know is how we will come closer to understanding our world.

Wow! Really makes you think! I'm excited to get in and "play" with this.. can't wait to see what other variables it will map. What an interesting find, Susan? Where did you find it? Thanks for sharing!
