This is a screen capture of Google Earth's Earthquake tracker. I have chosen to show the island of Japan. The yellow dots indicate earthquakes that have happened this last week. The red ones, this past hour. You can also see the earths fault lines meet. This is a great way to show learners the interconnectedness of the Earth's geological structure. I think it's a great resource for helping learners to connect ideas and good for visual learners, and probably a good stimulus to launch discussions that would lead to higher order thinking. I would probably use the visual thinking routine of 'I see..." to support learning.
