OK. So I am a day late and a dollar short on this. I know this has been around forever, but I have just recently learned how effective Google Earth can be when teaching Social Studies and even Literature. My sixth graders worked in pairs to set up a tour of the provinces of Canada and presented to the class. My seventh graders did a tour of Africa to present. In the past I used it sporadically to show them places, but one day I had a "duh" moment and thought "Why not let the kids do this?" They loved it!!!!
wig In addition to the easy to follow tutorials on Google earth, I found this link VERY informative and helpful.
