Google Earth 5.0 is very powerful and has lots more features for learning and teaching. Try Recording a tour, check out Oceans and new street views. The look back in time feature is very cool.

Powerful Learning, Technology & Mathematics in action!!!


Mr. Marcos has found this task to be so motivating that he has worked to build a new YouTube like Web site (http://www.mathtrain.tv) that he and the rest of his school’s math department uses to share the growing number of screencasts that students are creating. He has found that allowing students to create material for this site increases engagement and provides struggling students with more opportunities for reviewing troubling concepts. See what you think? …would be great if we had Aussie Kids doing this using all different ways of solving problems etc!!!
  I’ll leave it with the math’s Gurus to ponder!!!
