Scratch - US Map

I found a Scratch project that would be of great use in the classroom! It's titled "US Map Puzzle" and students are required to click on a state and use the arrow keys to move it to its place on the map, then press the spacebar to lock it in place. I know that placing all of the states in their correct locations has always been difficult for me, so I can really see usefulness in this project. It would be fun to create a Scratch project similar to this, maybe with the counties in WV? That's something that students learn in WV History classes, and a reinforcement using technology might help the placement of the counties stick in their minds a little better.

Here's the link to US Map Puzzle.

Enjoy!
