This website gives good information on google earth and shows you how to actually use google earth. It also gives you other really good websites that have something to do with googleearth. It would be good to use in the classroom because the students would be able to see how google earth is important and they could create a google earth account.

This is a blog website that is very interesting and shows different pictures and puzzles by using google earth. It is a website that people play games on by using google earth. It looks like it could be alot of fun. It shows different rankings and everything for the people that use the website too. You could use this in the classroom because in a social studies lesson you could have the studenst play the game and also show them different types of locations. It would be very interesting for the students i think to see actual locations and play a game with them.

This website has good information on it for using google earth. It shows different links, pictures and data that are used. It would be good to use google earth and all of these different websites in the classroom in either a science class learning about planets or our earth, and it would be good to use it in the social studies lessons for history and actual geographic land.

Well done Jill. I like the resources you found as well as the way you organize them.
Good to see the connections between curriculum and technologies!
The last one is interesting too! It seems like two tools develped for Google earth - google plot and google paint. "EarthPaint is a painting and drawing tool for Google Earth." I would think if your group could try to use either one tool to see if it's easy to use and helpful for teaching, that would be excellent!! :)
