The way you move around in Places is unique. Our brand new 3D navigation system is called GExplorer and allows novice users to experience the most incredible cinematic views of the scenery. In fact the views are so good that we added a recorder so you can save and share your places with your friends. GExplorer can be licensed for any 3D environment.

Rock Our World
Rock Our World is an excellent resource for teachers who want their students to engage with other students around the world. It is a great collaborative tool. It engage students globally and develops 21st century skills. It allows students to interact with others around the world. They can post blogs as well. I would use this without any hesitation because it broadens students' horizons. It also introduces other cultures.

Global SchoolNet offers many programs that connect classrooms all over the world. This site allows teachers and students to communicate with others all over the world and learn about the different aspects of other cultures. This website offers programs for all different subject matter. There is one activity where classrooms partner up and share letters to Santa Claus with a classroom across the globe, and another project where students make ther own newspaper. When making the newspaper the students go to GlobalSchoolNet and read other school newspapers and include articles from them in their own paper. There are tons of other activities included in this site.

One World Classrooms
The mission of One World Classrooms is to foster cross-cultural understanding in the context of the K-12 curriculum by building bridges of learning between the classrooms of the world through arts and technology. They offer password-protected, curriculum-based free online travel and a variety of opportunities for K-12 classrooms to interact with overseas partners.
This website enables students to share artwork, music, media, fieldtrips, a language lab and the opportunity to create fundraisers to help schools overseas.
A favorite area is the Field Trips in the classroom. You can create your own city and place it on site, and also take other trips to other classes that participate in the projects.
