The DL on Google Earth

I watched the following videos:
Beth's 4 Largest Cities in the US
Megan's Lewis and Clark Expedition
Nina's Dances of the World.

I love the idea of using Google Earth in the classroom. I think it helps children to put things into perspective, especially lessons in which geography plays an important part. It is a great place to combine multimedia into one place as well. For one placemark, you can include photos, videos, as well as incorporate Google Earth tools. Students will likely enjoy the fun interactive features of Google Earth. However, Google Earth may seem somewhat complicated at first. I would not recommend it as an individual activity for younger grades. It could be a fun whole class activity though. Furthermore, it does require access to computers and downloading Google Earth. Most importantly, a Google Earth virtual tour takes time to build. Many Google Earth tours are already available online though. There are many advantages and disadvantages, so weighing the pros and cons for the desired activity will be necessary.
