I think it could be used for moral choices as well as geographical, e.g. will you go into the off-licence with your friends or will you go to the newsagents instead? I suspect you will be able to think up more morally ambiguous choices for the children to explore. The adventure format would allow them to explore the consequences of their actions too.<BR/><BR/>As for the Google Earth footsteps of Jesus idea... check out <A HREF="http://www.esv.org/blog/2008/03/passion.week.geogrpahy" REL="nofollow">Geography of Passion Week</A> and <A HREF="http://www.openbible.info/blog/2007/04/passion-week-in-google-earth/" REL="nofollow">Passion Week in Google Earth</A>. A search for "Google Earth" on the ESV blog throws up a few more ideas and the OpenBible is just stuffed full of stuff! Hope these prove useful.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-35313608569046775482008-04-06T00:45:00.000+01:002008-04-06T00:45:00.000+01:00And, by the way, I do like your use of Flickr - in...And, by the way, I do like your use of Flickr - including your choose your own adventure tale!

And for posting ...David, thank you for the mention! And for posting on my blog - always nice to hear from other people! <BR/><BR/>I had an idea for using Google Earth, but I've not got very far with it. I thought I could try and make up a map tracking the footsteps of Jesus for my Year 9s who will be completing an assessment on Jesus when they get back after the holidays. However, there seems to be no data for Israel on Google Earth - it's just showing up as a vast wilderness, where roads from the neighbouring countries simply disappear at the borders.<BR/><BR/>I may need to work on that one ...! Like you, my favourite story so far is 21 Steps, but I am enjoying the variety of stories so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
