Web 2.0 Awarded Site
http://www.google.com/earth/index.html
I explored Google Earth. I like how the site allows the user to find almost any location on earth and zoom in on it in real time or in the past. The site is useful because it gives people a visual to places that they may not be able to visit in real life. This could be used in schools to show students famous landmarks or areas of the world they may be studying. It will help them have a better understanding of what they are learning if they could see it using Google Earth.
What a great idea to use this website to show students landmarks or famous historical sites! This is a great way to get around field trip nonsense. It also helps teachers show students landmarks that they physically could not get to, such as those in other parts of the country or the world. Great idea!
