What a great day today was... The Heart of Ohio Tech Prep folks (Marcia Key) invited me to do some training on "Explore (and SHARE) Your World with Google Earth." All together we had about 60 wonderfully dedicated teachers from all over the region, and we split them into smaller groups of 15 for hands-on training in the computer lab at OU Lancaster.
We learned a lot about using Google Earth and Picasa in the classroom in many subject areas. I hope (since it's summer and all) that they have some time now to download and leisurely play with the software at home. That way they can get comfortable enough to turn their students loose with a real-world project in the fall.
It was great fun.... Thanks for inviting me :-)

hanks for getting the word on the Geoweb out to everyone. There's tons of potential uses once teachers get a little push into it.
Sorry for the double post.
