Google Earth

I've always been a fan of Google Earth, and I find it a great teaching tool. By using this in educating you can show children what famous landmarks or monuments look like. It adds more depth to the lesson. Since I live in such a small town, when I tried to find my house I could only type in the city. From the city I had follow the road from there to my house. When I finally got there it was very low resolution, and it was basically just a rough outline. When I opened my field trip file It gave me much more clarity. Below are some images of my map in Google Earth.

I would use Google Earth many different ways.  The following link goes to a site that gives lessons plans and ways to use Google Earth.
