Recently in my Curriculum class, we discussed different ways to use Google Earth in the classroom. This is a GREAT idea to allow students that geography is much more than maps and measurements. This GoogleDocs presentation I found quickly and easily explains many, many ways
One of the coolest ways to use Google Earth to integrate Social Studies and Literature is by using Google Lit Trips, these trips document locations in many books, and fully integrate the travels in these books in Google Earth. These give students a very concrete view of travels made throughout novels, and can help students picture the settings of the books.
