Jog the Web

This is great site in which you can create tracks. A track is a way to lead people through the web from one page to the next. By a simple click these people can go through the webpages YOU like, in the order YOU like and even read comments YOU left. You can do all this for FREE. Check out some examples.
Google Earth for Educators (We do have Google Earth on all district computers)
Search the site for tracks that are already done.
