I would like to announce the launching of a new online resource for math teachers. <b>Real World Math – Using Google Earth in the Math Curriculum</b> provides lessons, activities, and new ideas that bring math instruction into this millennium. Intended for grades 5 and up, this material offers an Instructional Technology approach to learning. Google’s free 3D world of satellite imagery is used in active learning exercises designed to stimulate math students' higher-level thinking skills.<br />

There are currently 20 lessons on the site and more to come with your help. Educators are encouraged to participate on the website's <i>Community</i> page by offering advice, feedback, or by submitting Google Earth lessons themselves. Please visit the site @ <a href="http://realworldmath.org/">realworldmath.org</a> and have a look. Help spread the word by recommending the site to others!<br />

If you've been following the other Google Earth discussion on Classroom 2.0, you will remember that I wanted to bring more meaningful content into my math lessons. Thank you to all of you who added to that discussion and all of your kind suggestions. A little collaboration and some creativity can go a long way. Pardon my bias, but I think a lot of the Instructional Technology tools utilized by educators thus far have been linguistic in nature. Don't get me wrong, I think blogs, wikis, podcasts, and social networks such as this one are terrific, but they have left the math department a bit envious. This is one reason why I have created Real World Math.<br />
<br />
And so, I would like to start a new thread of discussion based on my experiences constructing these Google Earth lessons and the website to display them. Primarily in the non-linguistic subject areas, how can we nudge IT experiences that way? How do you conceptualize, design, build, and promote content-based material for a subject such as Science?<br />
