GOOGLE EARTH

Google Earth has been around for some time now but I had never used it until a couple of weeks ago.  My Art One students were studying the cave paintings in Lascaux, France and they didn't have the slightest idea where on "google earth" France was compared to Cerro Gordo, N.C.  So I finally got up enough courage to try Google Earth out and was I delighted with the end result.  I did a very short video that transported my class from Cerro Gordo all the way to Lascaux, France.  And we went by air!!!!


Google Earth has to be downloaded but with all the talk about Global Education, it is definitely worth it.  It is going to be one of my favorite tools and from what I've read there is so much more that can be done with it.  Click on the link below in order to download Google Earth.
