Google Earth! An Awesome Tool!

I learned a great deal about Google Earth this week. Who knew that you could set up a whole guided tour complete with links to videos and pictures. I enjoyed the Google tours I explored. I looked at Anna Pugliano and Ali Rogers' tours. They both included 5 plus locations of exploration. I liked Anna's because she had a clear activity and task for each location. It really made it interesting to have those types of links. Her Google tour would take days to fully complete, but I'm sure a lot of interesting learning would occur. Ali's tour was also great and included many locations around the world. She was witty in explanations which made it enjoyable. When I make another tour for my class, I will be sure to have more activity links like Anna and make it more fun like Ali's tour.
