In my tour we visit the lands of ancient Native Americans - Great Basin, Aztec, Mayan, Incan, and Inuit. We see their ruins, watch movies, look at pictures, and read webpages about them. This completes a Utah third grade core curriculum objective. This, however, would be great for any age learning about Native Americans or the US, Guatemala, Canada, or Peru. The children are encouraged to explore and learn for themselves instead of the teacher telling them everything. This makes learning more meaningful.
It was fun looking at all the other ideas that people came up with. You can use Google Earth for so many different things, it's amazing. I liked how people put the images right in with the placemarks, I would definitely do that the next time I make a tour. It was great to see how you can use Google Earth for so many different things; I will be able to reflect back on all these ideas when I am a teacher and do something fun and interactive with my students.
