There are so many interesting and informative sites on Thing # 19. This is one where
you want to spend some extra-curricular timelearning about the many sites.
Teachers, students, and librarians will find the Google.Maps and Live Maps useful. It has all of the basics, and is very easy for the students to use. The Live maps offers a collection which features brief annotation about the site. This will be asset when teaching geography in all grades.
The Birds Eye view offers many ways of looking at neighborhoods, streets, high rise buildings, Minate Maid Park and sky high views of the city. The best part is that using the compass & tools on the left hand margin the user can rotate the map in any direction and even look down from a building. Can't be afraid of heights! Find the Houston Public Library! Use the tilt tool for fun.
Use the rotate tool and see the back.
Two other sites that will be useful to all educators are the LuLu and Biblio. LuLu features information about all of books but also allows users to create books on line. Books can be created and then to LuLu for publishing. Our school has a book writing event annually, so this allow a nice place for our students to visit and realize that publishing can be discovered in many ways, not just through a conventional publisher. This is such a great place for people who love to write can publish their work and get comments from readers. Barnes and Nobles must be checking out this site. Biblio is a good source for finding out of date or rare books. The search is divided into categories such as binding in good condition, by country, author,title, or language. Again, teachers and librarians will be able to use this to purchase books, or just to show students where
to locate books that are difficult to find.
