“Who here has been to the country of Vietnam?” a second-grade teacher asks his students. As the children glance at each other nervously, not one hand raises. “Well, it looks like we should take a field trip there today. Sit back, relax, and buckle up. Here we go!” the teacher announces as he turns on the classroom’s LCD projector and flashes the images from his computer of Google Earth onto the whiteboard. The students sit breathless as they watch themselves hover above the earth and travel down to Hanoi, Vietnam. Thanks to technology, this trip is made possible.
