Google Earth Review

I looked at the google earth projects of Sarah, Alli, and Nancy.

It was really fun learning about Google Earth. In the end, it was a lot easier to manipulate than I would have thought. The gadgets are super cool, and would interest elementary age kids even more. The down sides were that it might seem a little more complicated for them to use alone that I would feel comfortable letting them do as a teacher. I think if it could somehow be teacher lead at first, then let the students loose on it after a while of modeling how to use it. Also, I found it challenging to write it in such a way as to have in understandable for young kids. It would be a great tool for the older grades to enhance the curriculum.
