Google Earth Location
I picked Potato Creek State Park in Indiana (just south of South Bend). This is a state park we found a few years ago because it was half-way between my brother and sister-in-law in Chicago and us in Grand Rapids. It's nothing super fancy, but it has worked very well for us. I'm sure we will go back for years to come :)
Google Earth Placemark
We are going to Washington, D.C. for Spring Break this year. My husband has never been to Washington, D.C., so I'm very excited that he will be able to see some of the sites there. One of my favorite places to go there is to Arlington National Cemetary. I could spend all day walking around and visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. So, that is what I picked to Placemar

k.Quizlet
I definitely plan on using this with my students in the future. The Anatomy & Physiology course that I teach involves a lot of terminology (almost seems like a foreign language sometimes). And not only do students need to learn the terminology, then they need to be able to put those terms to use as they describe and explain how the different body systems function. Since it is an upper-level elective course for mostly for students who are interested in health care related careers, I do ask them to learn a lot of terminology. And that's hard. So, I think that a site like Quizlet would be a great place to send kids to make flashcards and play games as they study. One downfall I found is that in order to upload photos, you needed to pay for a subscription. It was only $10 for the year which might be more than worth it if that's what it would take to really help students. But, it would be nice if it was free. There were some free images you could use, but they were limited, not necessarily what I wanted (especially for an upper level science course), and the search function wasn't all that great.
