Nice slide deck and useful questions.

The past few years have seen an explosion of disruptive technologies that challenge the way we think, the way we operate, and the status quo of educational practice. Understandably, critical questions have emerged regarding the use of these technologies in education. Do they actually lead to new literacies, or do they simply provide a new context for the development of skills educators have always valued? What impact are they really having on students and schools? How can organizations implement, evaluate, and sustain these technologies in the service of learning?

This is a great handout with illustrated instructions for creating placemarks and tours in Google Earth created by David Jakes. If you click on the little yellow comment bubble in the upper-right corner of the first page, you can find the Word doc version to adapt for your own students/teachers.

So full of win!
