 In Class discussion exercise Here is a list of three websites and directions for finding a group of others. Take at least five minutes (we’ll discuss this in class) and read the websites, following links and analyzing what you are looking at. Then take another few minutes to write down (type down?) some notes about the discussion questions at the bottom of the page. We’ll come back together as a class and discuss all of those questions together. Websites
 * 1) []
 * 2) []
 * 3) [|http://www.tc.umn.edu/~terre011/Resistivity.html]
 * 4) Use Google news to search on “google earth new Orleans” and read three stories from the news articles that are displayed. Maybe this one, for example: []

Discussion questions (note that they match up to the websites, more or less)
 * 1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of the hypertext (website) version of the Snow et al article? Is this a good way to present scholarship? Why or why not?
 * 2) What do you think is the best way for people to find visual information on the internet? Are the algorithms that are being developed for “intelligent media annotation” useful for GIS?
 * 3) The cemetery project was presented in 1998. How do you think it looks today? How do you want your research to be published online?
 * 4) What issues are at stake for how New Orleans is represented on Google Earth? What kinds of policy do you think Google should have towards this issue? How should information be made available (or not)?
