The Worldwide Telescope is Coming-New Tool for Technology Integration

“The WorldWide Telescope takes the best images from the greatest telescopes on Earth ... and in space ... and assembles them into a seamless, holistic view of the universe. This new resource will change the way we do astronomy ... the way we teach astronomy ... and, most importantly, I think it's going to change the way we see ourselves in the universe,”...“The creators of the WorldWide Telescope have now given us a way to have a dialogue with our universe.” Dr. Roy Gould of the Harvard Center for Astrophysics

The following short video provides an excellent and exciting overview of this new and FREE tool. This is a prime example of what technology, properly used, can do to significantly enhance teaching and learning.
