Seeing is believing!
What will they think of next?
Technology is moving a a rapid pace. I thought Google Earth by itself was a fantastic tool but now someone has come up with away of interacting with the application whilst standing at the back of the class. Its time to put on your gloves and 'swim' with Google Earth! I am sure the pupils will love to have a go too.
All you need is Atlas gloves. Don't have any? Then you can make your own using a pingpong ball and a key fob torch. The site shows you how here

Please do let us know if you do try this out with your class. We would love love to do a feature on the Kent NGfL website on it being used.
