April 24th, 2008

I did not work yesterday like I had planned because I've been so busy with tests this week. I had a Chemistry exam on Tuesday and then a Physics exam on Wednesday so I spent most of the weekend and early week studying for those.
Today Carrie and I decided it was time to start developing a preliminary outline for what the end project is going to look like. Its quite simple and linear, however its a solid start. I'll probably use the outline for the Power point which I plan on starting next week. Eventually, the outline is going to be multi directional as we begin to think about constructing the website.
Carrie showed me Google Earth today which is SUCH a cool program! Its a 3D map of the earth constructed from millions of satellite images. You can zoom in and out and pull up things like the seasonal measurements of chlorophyll or temperature or current patterns. I think I'm going to try to incorporate some of its images into my presentation. I'm positive kids will find it more interesting than a 2D map.
I've also decided that I'm going to download the program so that I can play around with it for fun!
