Google Earth

I Love Google Earth! I think it is a great concept and for older grades to integrate technology into the classroom skills. Students can use a tour type presentation to do like a get to know you atmosphere. For example places they have gone or lived. They also can also use it in science to show like hurricane routes and impacts, and other natural disasters the possibilities are unlimited. For my short presentation I did one titled Walking with Shakespeare which included real places that either his plays were set or was the inspiration of his works. I also tied it to a semi-local resource that we have in Oregon which is the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland.
