Earth Mashing

Earth Mashing: Web 2.0 Meets Google Earth #NECC09
Jim Holland and Susan
Several different ways in which Google Earth can be combined with Web2.0
(Web 2.0 defined as something students can create, hosted on a server, and a product of learning)

Great set of web2.0 tools that can embed well into Google Earth. I am inspired to look closer at how to bring more teachers into using these tools.

Magtoo.com is a really great option where a teacher can upload images to flickr, then students can access your folder of images in flickr. Then they can order them and title the images


(A cool feature that I knew but forgot. If you need students to sign in with an account, you can have a class account and then use the + tag. kevinamboe+theirpseudoaccount@gmail.com is their email but it only goes to kevinamboe@gmail.com.

Otherinbox.com is another solution - anything@kevinamboe.otherinbox.com - everything goes to the one account for verifications)
