The digital divide

i just finished reading the digital divide and wow i never new how "technologically" segregated the American education system is.  Theres a saying "the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer" its the same concept when it comes to having access to technology.  The poorer students have less access to computers in their schools meanwhile, the wealthier students not only have access to computers at school, but at home as well.  This divide seems to be getting wider and wider.  Americans need to really wake up and do something about this issue before its too late.

water on the moon

this is probably the most interesting and fascinating discoveries, they actually found water inside the moon.  according to researchers there is enough water in the moon for a shallow bath.  all this sound good but there seems to be a problem with this water... its has a high concentration of magnesium.  where there is water theres life so there maybe a possibility for life on the moon.

Databases

databases are a collection of information from all over the world for all different topics.  The use of databases is very common in the scientific community. Since I am a Earth Science teacher the most useful program that has a geographic database is Google Earth. It is very useful when locating any place on earth and if you want to show students geographic areas of certain areas.  It provides a great visual!
