Great math and Google Earth lessons: [|Using Google Earth in the Math Curriculum]

Google Earth is a bandwidth hog. Have students work in small groups.

Google Earth Gallery: Shows projects and tools created already created.

[|Google Lit Trips]: – Students create a geographic conext for their reading and mark points in Google Earth with a pin and a picture

Tools: Play with the ruler tools. You can measure distance by using the ruler. Draw a line from place to place and it will tell the mileage and other units of measure. Place marks: Do an address search and clikc and drag the push pin tool onto the map. You can name this, add a description, choose or upload icons of your own instead of the push pin. You can also add media to this like a movie.

Add video to a marker: [|Google Earth Lessons] : Example: Get a video of the Wright Brothers at Kittyhawk and copy the URL. Put a place mark on Kittyhawk and in the description paste the URL. If you have video downloaded ... convert your video to flash with the .swf format. (Converter: www.media-convert.com or zamzar) Then paste in this code into the Description box:
