Google Earth

Have you seen Fran Kramer's comments about the I TEACH K conference?  I was so impressed about the session she attended about using Google Earth.
I immediately downloaded the tool and pinned a path from our school through the United States.  It clearly showed our school, town, state, and continent.  My kinders are going to be so excited to see their own home.  I think this will be a great way for them to learn their address.  We can pin our homes on a town map.  Oh! There are so many ideas that are coming into play.  We can also see where places are that are talked about in literature.  Talk about bringing in the real world.  This works for me.
