<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\nI am excited to introduce you to my new project idea that I hope will result in some engaging content for our classes. It is collaborative in the same way the\u00a0Interesting Ways<\/a> resources are and I will need your help to make it a success.<\/strong><\/p>\n Four years ago I created\u00a0Google Earth resources for the classroom<\/a> and posted them to the\u00a0GE Community\u00a0Forum<\/a>. Two of them were called\u00a0Maths in Madrid<\/strong> and\u00a0Maths in Las Vegas<\/strong>. These were based on the fact that there is maths all around us, every day, everywhere we look. Google Earth (and Maps) gives us a great perspective on it all. It also provides easy access for our students to see rich visual content that depicts everyday maths. I have always loved the idea of children seeing the maths they are working on.<\/p>\n The only issue with Google Earth is that it is restrictive in two ways. It is not browser based and it is impossible for me to create a resource for others to collaborate on.<\/p>\nElevator Pitch<\/h3>\n
