Check out this Digital Shift blog post, titled "Top Chrome Apps to Help Students Stay Productive Online," listing Google Chrome apps that will help students (and some adults) make better use of their time. I'm not too sure about the last "bonus" app called the Panic Button. Just sounds like an easy way for a student to hide what they're doing from anyone looking over their shoulder. Like they need more help with that!! Katie Add Comment What a cool tool this is! I was paging through the Accessible Archives collection on Facebook and noticed this OLD map, which the description said was from a Deeply Zoomable #map. Deeply Zoomable!?! Doesn't that hint of sci-fi?? So I went to the link for the Deeply Zoomable version and found the entire map in a digital tool which allows one to zoom so far into the detail as to see the fibers of the paper and the edges of the pen strokes that make the illustrations. What fun! Its like zooming into the past to view the original marks and materials under a microscope. Personally, I prefer zooming back out to appreciate the rows of little trees and houses. See what you prefer. Then be thinking about what images you could bring into Zoom.it for closer scrutiny. Something from Alaska's Digital archives perhaps or some of your own photography. ????
