Google Earth

We played around with Google Earth this week. I really enjoyed how Carmen used it in her educational video about greetings from around the world. Instead of just putting a map up of each area studies she used Google Earths tour feature. When you type in a location the world spins and zooms in on that spot. It then shows a 3-D image of what the landscape or cityscape would look like. Cool option for a social studies lesson. It's great to get new ideas to help update old lesson plans. I will be looking more into Google Earth projects.
