Google Earth - I've finally got there!!

I must admit when Google Earth first hit the web I was very impressed but never really thought about using it in the classroom. When I became a teacher I wanted to use it in the classroom but struggled to work what I could use it for except for 'just looking at places'.

I have now found some good ways to use it in the classroom

I intend to use it for Friday's lesson with Year Seven for the Blood Diamond lesson. We are going to track the how diamonds are extracted and transported.

I also intend to use it for the global car industry and showing how fair trade works around the world.

I will also use the tour function to show the different places. I will post with more details later in the week and all resources will be available on the website.
