Google Earth

What a fascinating application! I am on Google Earth a lot and I seem to get so engaged that I find it hard to walk away from my computer. I really like to play with the different tools such as Street View, Geographic Web, and Panoramio. Every time I go to Google Earth, I discover something else. I recently showed GE to my first graders and I've never heard so many oohs and awe's! We're learning a little about Canada and Mexico. I place marked the capitals of the USA, Canada, and Mexico and added some interesting links of photographs. The application is such a great visual of our world and an awesome way to take my students on a virtual field trip without ever leaving the classroom. If you have something earth shattering cool you've discovered on GE, please share! I've only just begun to explore Google Earth.
