Gerryminder: A Redistricting Simulation
Gerryminder, developed by Jeremy M. Teigen and Jeffrey A. Gilbertson, is a free, online redistricting simulation designed for undergraduates learning about congressional elections, representation, and gerrymandering. By putting students in a position to manipulate district lines themselves with a measure of "fairness," Gerryminder provides a non-boring, experiential way to teach redistricting.

(and here is the older version without Google Maps and with multiple levels).A previous paper I wrote on teaching redistricting and using an older version of Gerryminder in the classroom is here.
This project enjoyed the support of a grant from the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Roundtable at Ramapo College.
