The other day as I was exploring Twitter, I came across a tweet from one of my teachers, Dr. E. Marvin about google maps.
It sparked my interest because he included WWII (one usually associates modern locations with google maps).
"WWII HIstorical Imagery in Google Earth" is a pretty exciting article about maps (I know, I know... they're usually boring, right?)
But this one has photos taken from the years 1935-1945 set next to today's images.
There is a marked difference (and I'm not talking about color photography).
What a great way to teach kids about the WWII's battles as well as the encouraging thought that we can still rebuild what was "shrapnell"ed so many years ago?
Imagine this:
Kids climb on board your planes (known on other days as mere desks).
Buckle in.
Pull on your flying helmet.
Tie your scarf tight.
First we're flying back into time.
Do you see these pictures, kids? They're from a long time ago, probably from when your grandparents were just babies...
