Teacher Tuesday

This week, I found a really neat resource for teachers and homeschoolers alike, called "Free Technology For Teachers." One of the features from this blog has to do with the 2010 Census and Google Maps, check it out

According to his blog, "This Google Earth layer presents teachers with an opportunity to visually show students how much farther their local areas have to go in order to fully complete the Census. In a Civics class you could show students this data then challenge them to create their own campaigns to get people in their communities to complete the Census. Students could create a video or a multimedia collage (try Glogster) to encourage people to complete the Census form."

Let's get the word out, it's only 10 questions and only takes about 10 minutes to finish and mail back free of charge...
