Google Earth

Wow.. I didn't realise how interactive Google Earth was. This would have been a fantastic resource to use while the Volcano was erupting. This is very engaging and would keep students entertained for ages. I think the idea of a virtual fieldtrip would be very informative and the students could learn a lot. Google Earth allows students to choose an area or Building and even zoom right down to the 3D view where they can see buildings in 3D, plus if the building hasn't already been drawn and uploaded in 3 D they have the opportunity to do it themselves which would be great for maths, graphics or art.
