Beam Me Up Scotty!

Or rather, beam me down. Very cool tool. Googleearth.com allows students to explore areas all over the world at any time of the day. They are able to view the climates and terrain of the area without leaving their desk. It is also helpful with geography. It enables the student to see how close or far a location is and can give you a bird's eye view or satellite view of a location. It offers "real-time" viewing along with archived views of historical events. A great tool for the student to grasp a better understanding of areas that they would not be able to visit. I found it very easy to learn and to use. It offers tutorials for more understanding and help tools on every page. You can zoom in or out with a click of the mouse. Great for that visual learner!

“We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time.” - T.S. Eliot
