Johnny Lee's inventions with potential in Education

Here are three youTube videos which I believe have great potential when used creatively in education/training settings:

Google Earth Flight Simulator

by Marco Gallotta

A flight simulator has been embedded in the latest version of Google Earth. Here is what Marco has found out:

First of all you'll have to install the latest version of GE. Once you've started it all up, explored Google Sky a bit, then all you have to do is hit Ctrl+Alt+A (if you're running OS X it's Command+Option+A).

The information page of the control is here.

Image Hosting

Every now and then, I need to make some images available to an unspecified number of people, such as those reading my blog. Where should I put these images?

I hot-link to the original image if I can. (ok, I am stealing someone's bandwidth.)

Alternately, if copyright allows, I get a copy and upload to flickr. Get the URL of the image and link.

Well it seems that there are many choices too.

All you can upload allows you to upload your image, copy the link and post.

From TechCrunch:

Well known and often controversial BitTorrent tracking site The Pirate Bay has launched BayImg, an uncensored free image hosting service.

From BayImg:

bayimg.com is a place where you can host all your images. We do not censor them. We believe in freedom of speech, it's of utter importance to us. As long as your pictures are legal they will be hosted here, but we reserve the right to remove images due to technical reasons though.

So for those images which you may have problem locating their rightful owners but you definitely have to use, you now know where to put them. :-)
