I love technology!

Wow. That's just insane. Can't imagine it being a productive programming tool just yet, but for the likes of World Wind, it's just fantastic.

This thing's been around for ages, thank God for Youtube to get some publicity

At 5:56 on the video there's 2 minutes playing with World Wind, amazing stuff

Daz · 10-08-2006, 10:04

That is seriously impressive. Wonder how much they cost.....

I like that a lot, particularly the keyboard integration.

At my last job the Geography teachers were just in almost pabable shock when we got Google Earth installed on the Pc hooked up to their interactive whiteboard. Using a finger to drag intuitively drag the globe around, then double tapping the whiteboard and watching as the the globe zooms in exactly where they tapped. It's a fantastic resource for them, able to quickly and easily show where the fault lines are. As soon as they picked up an electronic pen it snapshotted the screen and then they could highlight things for the student or make notes and the like.

*Must not do the World Wind versus GE spiel, must not must not*

All this new tech is so cool

I'd certainly agree WW is a better resource for geography teachers, due to all the various data sets.

But you just had to get your oar in there, didn't you.
