THING 6

I explored Google Earth!  I love this application.  The fact that I can sit in my living room and locate the farm in Arkansas that I grew up on is amazing.  The details that Google Earth shows is very impressive.  The website allows you to zoom in and out of locations, look up addresses, determine distances between places, 3D and street views.  There are countless activities that Google Earth could be used for in an education setting.  I did not like how some images where hard to zoom in on or took a long time to focus.  Also not all images are current which could cause some issues for certain learning activites.
