A strategy using google.earth as a resource
Resources for using google.earth in the classroom.
This is one tremendous site. I enjoy visiting it when I have nothing else to do in the evening. I can travel to all my destinations on a trial run and see (visualize) where I am.
Last weekend we tried out my husbands GPS and ended up miles beyond our target in a geocache adventure. I came home a bit dejected but decided to try google.earth and found the spot rather quickly using the longitude and latitude grid, one of the features of google.earth.
I want to share two blog entries from fellow blogging educators to provide instruction and ideas on how to use google.earth in the classroom.
