In the last year Google Earth has really outdone itself. You can now run Google Earth on the Chrome Browser with out needing a download. The updated Google Earth, has also added Voyager, a showcase of interactive, guided tours. You can also uncover exciting new places with the "I'm feeling Lucky" button. Google has created over 20,000 different places around the world that are worth exploring. Once there, you can open up a new “Knowledge Card” that will offer more information and history about the place in question. A few other features worth playing with are the 3-D view and street view. My 10 year old son can not get enough of the street view. :-)
If you have not played with Google Earth in the past year, take a look. I promise you will not be disappointed.
A fun place to start is, This Is Home. This is a special voyager that takes you on a journey into traditional homes from cultures around the world.

Plickers For Formative Assessment
https://www.plickers.com/
I love this simple tool that uses QR Code technology in such a unique way.
Plickers is a powerfully simple tool that lets teachers collect real-time formative assessment data without the need for student devices.
If you you are looking for a fast way to collect, organize and store formative data, then I suggest you try these. You can assign each student their own plicker card or you can hand out random cards. Assigning student's their own cards allows you to attach the data you are collecting to a student name. My students love these cards and are always asking if we are going to use them today.
The best part about Plickers is that it is free and all you need is a computer attached to a projector and one tablet or smart phone.
