A question about Wayfarer

Suzanne,
   Is wayfarer different than Google Earth?  Is it a site that stores journeys created in Google Earth?  I am concerned about the other things on the wayfarer site, is there a way to give your students access to your things and not expose them to my favorite places to drink beer?  I don't personally have a problem with this but wouldn't want to have to explain it to administration and parents. 
    We are using Google Earth in our Summer Institute training next week as an interesting way to give management information relating to one to one classrooms.  We have created a voyage, put notes with information at specific points along the way and included clues to the next point on the voyage.  Our theme for the week is Survivor Technology Island so the tasks fit right in and we can teach our teachers about Google Earth at the same time.  It is a great tool and students love it.  We are hoping teachers do too!

A really nice way to combine google maps with something like this would be to use the wayfarer site.  It allows you to create a map, add waypoints with virtual stick pins which can then have text, links, photos etc attached.  I have thought of utilising it with various subjects – tracking the voyage that occurs in a story, for example, or a group of science students at the moment are using it to document the locations where they are undertaking water quality testing on a local river.  Lots of possibilities.
