I'm sure the Google Earth team is working on something already :)

Great point Ben.

Sounds great - but I think your description of it as 'a toy' is quite telling. Recent technological developments have tended to foreground 'how' and not 'what' information is shared. A tool like this needs to work from a platform of effective, qual…

This is a pretty interesting concept. Whether or not it is actually possible to do I don't know. I have heard of businesses being able to invest in technology that predicts future outcomes if particular events were to occur, and this sounds pretty s…

Sharing the Wealth (of Knowledge)

Meetings. Conferences. Dinners. Gatherings. Scheduling. Airlines. Hotels. Expenses. Such is life on the road.

Why do we do this? What draws us to go far out of our way to convene face to face? Is it the thrill of travel? The exotic locations? Meeting friends and colleagues in person?

Hi Cindy; What a great job... I have been teaching online for ten years and discovered that online tutoring is as good as face to face teaching but I think students need a space to share ideas, discuss issues, etc. Mayte mayte.esponda@gmail.com
