AmeriLib

The United States of America is a country composed of 50 states and a federal district. Learning all of them and their position on the map can be a little troublesome, especially for children. Fortunately, there are interactive map software solutions that can ease off the learning.

AmeriLib is a Java-based application that can help you memorize and learn the position and neighbors of each composing state. The program requires Java installed on your computer in order to function properly.

The application helps you see the position of each state composing USA, along with all their neighbors. This can be used as an educational tool to learn children the geographical display of USA, as you can add or remove states from the map by selecting them. You can create interactive quizzes and present them in class, in order to test the knowledge of each student, then grade them accordingly.

AmeriLib can be easily integrated in many other geographical-related applications, due to the fact that it was developed with a lot of open-ended user event cases and on-trigger developer hooks. This way, a developer can use this application and build additional features that can be linked with some of the built-in event triggers.

For instance, the program can be combined with an interactive map, which will display extensive information about a state when clicked, such a population, surface size, composing cities and towns or any other geopolitical details.

AmeriLib serves as a good kickstarter for map integration and application developing, because of its open-ended event triggers and developer hooks. As a standalone application, it can easily be used as an interactive map for learning the position and name of any American state.
