I am currently working on my master's project at the University of Guam where my topic will be using Google Earth to teach math concepts. I am going to create a website for this and I am now approaching the design stage. You can find a discussion thread started by me on Classroom 2.0 under the Google Earth section. It was there that I first learned about your GoogleLitTrips site.
I have been reviewing your site tonight and have found elements I've considered adding to my own design. Chief among these is your "Basics" section. I really like how you accomplished this with video tutorials. I had thought of covering in text some of the key tools of Google Earth, but I am debating adding this type of content on my site, so what do you think?
My biggest question for you now though is what tool or service did you use to create your website? I've thought of accomplishing mine with a blog or wiki or perhaps Google page creator. Yours looks great. How did you do it?
I am sure I will have questions for you in the future. Would you be open to this?
