Mapping Classical Rome

I'm a big fan of communitywalk.com. My students have been doing a lot of interactive blogging: they created their own tours of Rome, with pictures from flickr and their own tour guide banter. It incorporates writing, geography, and web 2.0 skills. They enjoyed doing them, and here is a sample project: http://www.communitywalk.com/rome/the_greatest_rome_tour/map/341132

I'm working on a new community walk project: we've been reading Ibn Battuta's journals, and the kids will add markers to the places he visited. I want them to choose a few quotes to add, and provide an interpretation, or two. Finally, they'll add pictures.
