Street View

Another cool application from Google!


I wonder how many uses we can come up with...

- get more visual instructions on how to get to those well hidden ece centres

What else?

Applications - gee I dont know. But the children will love it as much as I do. Its magical. I dont have any photos on Flikr but am working at home today so will put some up via my home computer, making sure to add tags that this site could find.

Shame my allotted breakfast playtime is over. Cant wait to get back to this maybe tonight!
Have fun
