M*****'s Home School ~~ Home of the Rottweilers. We started this blog with the purpose of sharing information with our friends and family, but most of all to give our students more experience in writing, publishing and improving their communication skills. But changes and life marched on and now this blog serves as a record of our school progress and some of that life that marches.

Google Earth
I have always liked to "travel" using Google maps. Last week, Corey (A very inspiring woman with a HUGE heart) over at Watching The Waters ran a marathon at Disney and I was on the site to see the route of the marathon and they used Google Earth to show a 3-D view of the route. Well I got hooked. I downloaded the program from Google and the kids and I have virtually traveled all over the world. It's use of 3-D models is very fascinating and the ability to see mountains and valleys has been very cool, especially since 6th grade has been studying the mountains of North America. I recommend it.

Thank you for the kind words!
I often use Google earth to measure my running routes (when I'm not running on the indoor track at the gym). It's a fun (and amazing) little program..
