Google Earth is a neat, gee-whiz kind of website. But there are tools built into Google Earth that make it a great learning tool for History, Geography and even Language Arts. Find out how you can use the powerful tour or project creation tools. Create an experience for your students where they can travel the Mediterranean as Odysses did in Homer’s The Odyssey asking questions all along the way. Or have your students create a project detailing the important battles of World War II. Or have your students plot the course of a fantasy vacation. The possibilities are endless. Google Earth is so much more than a fancy virtual globe.
