Although a frequent critic of Google, I have to say that Google Earth is breathtaking. My mind is way ahead of my typing fingers in imagining the potential applications of this marvelous tool: http://earth.google.com/. Go visit ASAP and see what I mean! For example, click on "Touring" and you can create narrated illustrated tours of a site. Click on "Historical Imagery" and you can travel back through time. The applications for earth sciences seem boundless. In Spanish, I am dreaming of multiple applications pertaining to the vast, diverse geography of the Spanish-speaking world. See it all before the advertisers populate this wonderful parallel universe!

I love Google Earth too. Probably one of the most used tools across the district. What a great idea for a language class. Your posts are amazing. How do you find the time?
