The kids are curious about what is beyond their little town, and this 
is such a great way for them to learn about what's out there.  Many 
of us take computers for granted, but they are a genuine blessing for 
my friend's class-- she is determined to teach her students about 
geography in a way that will capture their interest, and visuals 
definitely do the job!  Thanks Sue, and thanks to everyone who is 
helping with this project.
