Tip of the Week- Thinking Maps in Google
Tip of the Week- Real Places, Virtual Visits
But the Google Cultural Institute is WAY more than just art museums. You can look at historic moments, World Wonders, How about visiting Alcatraz, Pompei, the Hiroshima Memorial, the Gateway to India, or the Giza Necropolis?
Students (or you) can even collect their favorite pieces to build their own gallery.
Fair Use- The Car Mataphor
I love this metaphor that I heard about Fair Use from the TCEA Convention this year.
“If I park my car in a public parking lot, it’s not yours. Even if the keys are in it. Even if I’m an idiot that left it running. Still. Not. Your. Car. The only time you get to drive my car is when I give you the keys and say you can use it. Even then, I may only give you permission for specific things. Maybe you can only go to your house and back. Maybe you can only borrow it if you bring me back some Whataburger. ”
Yes. Exactly.
