IP&T WEEK 7

This week in class we learned all about the program google earth. I am so excited about this tool. This program allows you to view places all over the world. You can view any location. It is quite fascinating! I think this is a great tool that can be used in the classroom. For class we are going to make our own virtual tour based on a certain content area. Some examples can include the following:
1. For history you could learn about Ancient Egypt and tour pyramids. YOu could also view the locations of the civil war, WWII, and September 11.
2. For literature you could talk about the story Peter Pan and veiw the places in London discussed in the story.

Such a great tool! I am excited to learn more about how to use Google Earth.
