Gulf Coast Oil Spill Online

Watching the Gulf Coast oil spill live online is a surreal experience. It is horrifying, historic, and oddly addictive. Periodically, I will go online to www.cnn.com to watch the live video stream. So this makes me wonder, are teachers/educators using these resources such as the live video stream to engage in discussion(s) and lessons with their students? It's an incredible opportunity. Think about it, the fact that this broken gusher is a mile down in the Gulf of Mexico and yet we, here in New Jersey, can watch a live video of it?
