Google Maps Mashup Shows Census Data

This is way cool: http://65.39.85.13/google/default.htm


Saw this on Life Hacker "Just put in your address and you can quickly see the population, income, and housing statistics for your area in a 1, 3, and 5 mile radius of your home."

You can zoom in and get very detailed with this! Great!

NCAECT Luncheon Speaker was AMAZING

I was so impressed with Deneen Frasier Bowen's presentation The Natives are Restless at the luncheon at NCAECT. I think it was probably the BEST presentation I have ever seen at a conference. She addressed everyone in the audience. She did not alienate "digital immigrants"... she encouraged everyone to see how important it is to create a dialog with our students - the "digital natives".

See a webcast of The Natives are Restless at http://www.kidzonline.org/necc/agenda.asp

Find out more about Deneen Frasier Bowen at her website http://www.actwith.com/

Truly - a very powerful speaker!
