| Title: | World Wide Telescope |
| URL: | http://www.worldwidetelescope.org |
| Category: | Learning for Children |
| Description: |  If you fancy a bit of astronomy then this really is a brilliant programme. Made by Microsoft, free but only available to run under Windows. Take a guided tour around the universe, learn about our solar system, its stars and moons. There is even a guided tour available by Wall-E (separate add on downloadable from the web site). If you don't want to use the guided tour then it is possible to search for 1,000 of object and get up fairly detailed information on them in addition to the images. This is a great programme, I have had a couple of issues viewing the earth which seems a bit strange although this is  probably something I am doing wrong rather than the programme itself. If you are feeling really brave you can try making your own guided tour. Full details on how to do this are available on the web site. If you have children of school age you may want to point this programme out to their teachers / head of IT. |
