Google Earth can help you
bring a world of information alive for your students. It is a free download for Mac or Windows and
can be used with all grade levels. Students
can use Google Earth to explore topics like the progress of human civilization,
the growth of cities, and the impact of natural disasters. Teachers can use Google Earth demos to get students
excited about geography beyond the static map or use different Google Earth
layers to study transportation, demographics, economics, and specific local or
exotic contexts.
