Google Earth Assignment

Today in class we played with Google Earth and learned about some of the great ways we could use it as Early Childhood Educators. It would be really fun to look for all the different continents of the world with children, or find our community, or school on the site. Perhaps we could look for the different places that animals we are studying might live.
We had a chance to do some interesting Virtual tours around the globe. Our table found a great site for the New 7 Wonders of the World, which we may be able to use in our group project. Here is the URL for a google earth website (.kmz) that may be useful to us with our project:

bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/placemarks/669652-New7WondersoftheWorld.kmz

We might be able to use this website to help children actually see and learn more about the 7 wonders of the world.
