Here's a cool web 2.0 tool that helps you compare the past with the present. It's called History Pin. Subjects include History, Modern Art, Science, and Technology. It's really interesting. Take a view of the video below and check out this awesome site. You do not need a log in to be able to view it.
You also get the chance to view pictures of old times with up to date real time images using Google Earth. Imagine starting a debate in your classroom of what Germany looked like in WWII versus what it looks like now, or maybe what it looked like before the Western United States was settled. You can control the time period in your search as well. Check out History pin here!

Help vote for my grant!
Hello everyone,
I signed up for a grant at We Are Teachers. If I have the top number of votes my idea will win. What I am asking is for you to just take two seconds and click this link and along the side there will be a little box that says vote for me. If you do this I will be one step closer towards my goal of introducing video announcements in the Middle High school.
The link is http://bit.ly/ifQDYu
Please help support a good cause. It costs nothing to you except a few seconds of your time.
Thank you very much!
~Tom
PS If you have more than one e-mail account you can vote twice ;-)
