Who Knew Google?

Google has GoogleEarth, as I think everyone knows. But, did you know about GoogleLitTrips?  It combines Google Earth images with literature.  The one I previewed was based on Elie Wiesel's Night.  It looks like students and/or teachers can create projects and upload them.  It allows for pop-up pictures and text.  Check it out.

Another interesting Google site is Google Docs.  It allows you to upload documents and access from any computer. The cool thing is that you can share it with other people, say peers or teachers.  What a great tool to collaborate on essays or other written projects.  There wouldn't be a need to print anything!
