(google) Earth Day

I'm sure our school is not alone in our celebration of Earth Day for this week. Aside from teaching simplified PowerPoints (emphasis on simplified) with conservation-themed content, and keeping my printer free from paper lest anyone print, we'll be using Google Earth to explore global concerns.
If you're not familiar or have never used this tool, by all means go and download it. In the side bar on the left of the program, you'll find a section called Layers. In the layer tab, look for the section titled "Global Awareness". If you expand the "folder" you'll find over a dozen organizations or subjects which have links all over Google Earth.
I've included an instructional Prezi on how we'll be using this layer in our technology classes this week.
