Google keeps going and going...

It really amazes me how people come up with inventions such as Goggle Lit. Trips. This would be such a great tool for students to use especially when they are reading difficult literature such as Shakespeare. I took the tutorial guide on MacBeth and was amazed at the three dimensional figures that were made, arrows to show us where the characters originated from and where they were going, and well as being able to hear someone explain where the characters traveled.

This resource will really help students imagine what is going on in the novel and it will give them a better understanding when they try to discuss it.

The best part about this is that it can be used anywhere with the help of wireless networks. This is a tool I can already see myself using when I am on a 5 hour bus ride to go home while I am reading a book.

For students that are visual learners, this tool will help them to read a milestone in their learning lives. We as teachers have to accomadate our students as best we can and this resource should immediatly be added to one of the tools we could use in a classroom.
