Google Earth

Well, before today I actually knew nothing about Google Earth, so I was pretty excited! My Mom is a Geography teacher, so I actually called her up and told her about this hoping she might be able to use it in her classroom (she tries to use technology as much as possible because it seems to keep her kids engaged better than other methods she's tried). One thing I was thinking of to use this for though, was teaching habitats to children and where in the world they might find them. I am very interested in habitats and think they are quite fun to learn about, but I think it's difficult for children to get a grasp on them since some habitats are foreign to them and they aren't anything they've had experience with before. So Google Earth could provide a fun, interactive and hands-on approach to finding out more about habitats!
