Google Earth is a great tool, and the kids love it. Went through the Atomic learning and even watched the YouTube video about Google Earth. Have an older version on my laptop but could not download the newer version today. I could use the trip feature in the library. Whenever possible I like to show where a story is taking place in relation to where our students live. There is soooooooooooooo much information............ being able to access it quickly and consistantly during a class period is always the problem. Checked out Google Reader and added a few subscriptions. Blogs can be the true definition of 'too much information'; anything that will help me access pertinent information more efficiently will be helpful. Was having some angst about classifying graphic novels. Found a PowerPoint from OCLC on one of the new feeds. Hooray, all my questions have been answered.
I've had an iGoogle account for a couple of years. There's so much. There's just not enough time to use it all.

Can you send the link to the OCLC powerpoint? Google can be overwhleming, but oh my how useful! I love the idea of using the Google earth to show the students where the stories are taking place. Can't wait to do that in the fall.
