I'm holding an online course on Nov. 10-12 through Knowplace on using Google Earth as a classroom tool. Here is a more detailed view of the course as well as registration instructions for this Open Weekend. There is no cost to this course. So please come by if you are interested in using Google Earth in the K12 classroom or would like to learn more about it.
I posted my first online video to youtube as a response to Alan Levine's keynote address at the K12OnlineConference. That lead me to start using google video to post a clip for the Google Earth open weekend course. Push your comfort limits and you never know what you can do.
I'll embed the Google Earth video introduction below. Hope to see you at the course:
