The News in Google Earth
News organizations publish the news through RSS (really simple syndication) feeds. One way to view these feeds, when they are available as KML files, is through Google Earth.
To you and me, this means that we can use an RSS reader (Google Earth in this case) to subscribe to feeds. This will allow us to automatically see the news displayed Google Earth.
The cool thing about this is that Google Earth displays the news geographically. This generally means that the stories will show up at the location where they are being syndicated from.
Cool, huh? How might visually-based news change your students perception of news?
