[CASL-L] Google Reverse Image Search and YouTube access

[My9lives124]

Google Earth is also unavailable for students now. I really liked having
students use it to look up places where stories take place. I can show them
but it's not the same as having them use it. It seems that Google Maps is
okay/ somewhat similar but not quite the same. Apparently Google really
likes to track people and gather data.
