I had been on Google Earth awhile back, but hadn't loaded it on my new computer (another long, boring story involving my satellite high speed limitations), so this was great. I went to my house first, then flew from my house to my sister's house in France. Wow -- it really got me pumped up for next week, when I will be flying there for real!
Of course, there are endless possibilities for this type of tool, and some were mentioned in this week's lesson (travel planning, researching locations before a move, etc.). As a teacher, I can think of dozens of ways this could be used in the classroom. Having access to this type of technology could really bring social studies and history alive for students, and I'm sure it is doing the same for many library customers. Just another way for the library to bring the world to our patrons.
P.S. My postings are out of order because when I went to create my avatar for last week's lesson, Meez.com was down for an upgrade. You will meet my virtual self next time!
