Google Earth

This is the first time I use Google Earth and I have to say it has been a good experience. It is not difficult to use and it does not take long to download.
This gadget allows many activities for class, for instance students could be ask to look for important buildings they are studying in there lessons, and using the timeline tool see the difference across time. They can also use the fly to search to locate places, let's say they are studying war world I or II; google earth would be useful to identify the countries involved, the cities were battles took place, or record the army's path. they can also use the moon or mars pictures for projects or presentations about the space.
there are many more possibilities of how to use the software, it will depend on you and your class.
