Tried some apps I'd never played with before - Google Earth and iWeb. I hoped both would help me add a community service element to a N.H. history unit, and that my webquest project could be anchored on that. My focus was on White Island, and the lighthouse there, currently owned by the nonprofit organization, Lighthouse Kids. Only Google Earth, with that majestic globe that awes the viewer with its dynamic drops and sweeping views, says there is no White Island in N.H. and places it in Kittery, ME. I sent their "Help" department a note, so, with any luck it will be cleared up before I do a presentation with my class and take the kids out there in the spring. (If any of you have been at the mercy of a GPS only to be lead to a snowy, mountainous goat path like I once was, you are not bowled over by this.) I'll be curious to see how quickly they respond to the note.
