(It's unusual to go this late into fall without having a snowfall). As I was putting my daughters to bed last night my oldest asked why it was so bright outside. My short answer was that the snow reflected the street lights and the moon light. That's just a small part of the reason why the moon seems brighter in the winter.  Why the Full Moon is Better in Winter explains how the combination of the position of the moon relative to Earth and snow on the ground make the moon appear brighter in the winter than in the summer.

Unfortunately, they shut it down a couple of years ago and since then I've been recommending that people simply use Chrome's inspect tool to view the code behind a webpage. In fact, I even included that in my weekly newsletter this week. This week I discovered that Mouse.org offers its own X-Ray Goggles tool for viewing and modifying the code behind a page.  Mouse.org's X-Ray Goggles tool lets you see the code behind any web page and change that code to display anything that you want in place of the original text and images. After you have made the changes you can publish a local copy of the web page. In this short video I provide a demonstration of how Mouse.org's X-Ray Goggles tool works.    Applications for Education Mouse.org's X-Ray Goggles provides a good way for students to see how the code of a webpage works.

Then print the page and give it to your students to try to identify the satire elements of the story.     • Email to a friend • More Recent Articles A Science Lesson for Winter Application What You Should Know About Pings and Traceroutes Scan Documents and QR Codes With Your Chromebook Two Easy Ways to Make Your Own Mobile App A Fun and Educational Use of Chrome's Inspect Tool
