Google Earth

This morning, I downloaded Moodle but got a bit confused on the Internet settings, so I will need to seek out some tech support in order to finish installing this web service on my laptop. If anyone is interested in helping with this exploration you may let me know. You do NOT need to download this to investigate how Moodle works. I suggest you look at sample classes.

After grading some statistics homework, I investigated Google Earth. I downloaded the product and watched a few training videos. I zoomed in on Indiana and Muncie. It looks like they have added some video production tools so you can capture your "journey" as you "move" over the Earth. The link below will give you a nice overview. Note that this video packs a lot of information into a 1.5 minute clip. Create a clip in Google Earth for a distinguished activity.
