If you "stand" above the North Pole and look down it will appear to turn anti-clockwise. Looking at it from above the equator, it appears to turn from left to right.
If you were hanging up above the north pole, looking down at the earth, you would see
the earth spinning counterclockwise, right to left, west to east.
