Tools 4 Tuesday: Live & Captured Images with EarthCam & Gigapan



EarthCam - view webcams from around the world

Perhaps what happens in Vegas may no longer stay in Vegas! Do you think they know they're being watched? Bring to life various spots around the globe... discuss privacy issues and/or life in the 21st century as compared to past centuries... compare/contrast different locales and/or cultures (clothing, earth/ground features, genders, etc.)... count on-camera visitors for a math or graphing lesson... What else??? Other ideas? (share your comments below this post)

=========================




Gigapan - incredibly detailed pictures of famous places and events around the globe taken using a special camera mount (learn more HERE)

Zoom in to see more of what you may never be able to see in person! Choose from a growing gallery of over 50,000 images
NOTE: this camera mount technology is brought to us by the NASA Mars Rover missions! Technically, we (taxpayers) helped fund this technology!

See more examples in their galleries:
