[|Google Earth] : Maps; Third Place

Google Earth is a great tool to use in any classroom. As students work on projects or the whole class learns about different parts of the world, Google Earth can be used to explore and learn more about the location. Google Earth even shows the moon, and shares information about various landings. Google Earth also shows parts of the ocean. This tool can be used on many occasions. It is especially useful in science lessons about space, land, and water, and in every geography lesson.

A good activity for this program is for students to choose a location of interest, and then use Google Earth to research information about it, including the geographical features.
