You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places and share with others.

Google Applications, or more commonly known as Google Apps, are a collection of free services that allow you and your collegues to collaborate across space and time. A benefit to Google apps is that you can access files/projects that you are working on from any computer with an internet connection.

Some of the services Google provides:

• Google Calendar
• Google mail of Gmail
• Google Talk
• Google Docs
• Google Pages
• And more

Google SketchUp is free software that can be used to create, export and present 3D models.

Whether you want to design a new deck for your house, build models for Google Earth, or teach geometry to your fifth-graders, you can use SketchUp to see your ideas in 3D.

When you're done, you can export an image, make a movie or print out a view of what you made.

Learning to Change, Changing to Learn

This video was created by the Pearson Foundation in conjunction with The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN). This public service announcement-like video addresses the opportunities and challenges of technology integration in education.

The "stars" of the video include Daniel Pink, Young Zhao, Ken Kay, and other educational stakeholders that realize the urgency for the education system to evolve and respond to the new set of 21st Century skills that students need in order to compete in the global marketplace.
