Where in World...... Using Google Earth in the Classroom


Google Earth is by far one of my favorite tools to use. I could spend hours upon hours just typing in places and seeing the world from the comfort of my own home. Many educators love Google Earth but ask the common question: "How can I use it in my classroom?"

Google Lit Trips is an awesome application that integrates nicely with Language Arts - by utilizing Google Earth; students can take a 'road trip' along with their favorite books. You can either make your own lit trip or download the trips already made. Great literature works include Make Way for Ducklings and The Kite Runner.

Stay tuned for more integration ideas!
