Article: Try to find a blank map of the country, continent, or region you’re learning about.  Print the blank map, and do your best to fill the map out.  You may want to begin by giving yourself a list of items to place on the map and work towards filling out the map purely from your memory.  Try searching online for “blank map of [place].” For example, you may search for “blank map of Africa.” Use pencil while filling out the map so that you can erase and make changes.  Additionally, you could reuse the map to quiz yourself again if you erase everything cleanly. One of the best ways to learn anything is to have fun with your learning.  If you can find a way to turn your geography learning into a game, you will likely be more successful.  Here are some ideas for keeping it fun:  Make a bet with a friend who is also learning geography about who can fill out a blank map of an area faster.  The loser buys the other person dinner. Make a fake passport, and every time you feel that you have mastered details about a country, give yourself a “stamp” from that country.  Play an online geography trivia game. Play trivia that includes a geography category.  Many bars and restaurants have regular trivia nights, and you can use these as an opportunity to flex your geography “muscles.”  You might even win money or a gift certificate that could pay for your meal! There are many apps for smartphones and tablets and software or online program options for learning geography. You can find a list of free geography quiz sites/programs here.  Technology opens up the world to you, and if you embrace the opportunities afforded by various technology, you can learn about the geography and culture of many different places in the world in no time! If the program you are using gives you a score, keep trying to improve your score each time you use the program.
