EarthViewer App

Recently I was plodding through my NSTA Reports from April 2013 and ran across this new app just released January 2013.  Right now it is FREE--but who knows if it will stay that price forever.  Here is what the paper wrote as a description for the app.

Have you ever wondered what the Earth looked like 400 million years ago?  With EarthViewer, a new interactive app for iPad, users can explore the Earth's history with the touch of a finger by scrolling through 4.5 billion years of geological evolution.  Developed by Howard Hughes Medical Institute's BioInteractive team, the app tracks the planet's origin, and explore the Earth's biodiversity over the last 540 million years.  It combines visual analysis with hard data.  The app can help high school and college students make connections between geological and biological change.  Learn more at http://bit.ly/Zg4Gyd.

I can't wait to see how people use this app and what it leads to.  If you have ideas on how to use the app please leave a comment!  Thanks for reading!
