CityZen   
This
is an awesome mapping application. It contains the
world's major cities, capitals, countries, seas,
and oceans! Students can quickly find latitude and
longitude for any location. They can also find the
distance between any two places on the map. CityZen
also can quiz students over any and all geographical
locations. This application
requires three files to be installed to the Palm.
Does not work well with Palm OS 5 and above. |

Students learn
great economics lessons with this game. They must
buy supplies low and sell when the market is high.
I find it helpful to make a print out of the chart
in the readme file so students can see high and
low prices along with the frequency of exaggerated
prices. |

Learn
economic concepts by trading in and out of eight
stocks. |
