Community reviews for Google Earth

When students first saw Google Earth, I used it as a way to show the locations of early explorers. Students often would hear of a place but never see where it is in reference to the world. Now student can see for themselves. Students got excited to work with Google Earth and save their tours to share with other students.

I think this is an excellent resource for students who may not have exposure to different land features or places. Its like they get to take a trip free of cost anywhere in the world.

Google Earth can be used at any grade level in many different subject areas- math, social studies, culture, geography, and more.

I think that this program is great for any Social Studies class. We were able to take virtual field trips to the locations that we discuss.

If you teach a history class you need to use Google Earth. This app allows students to understand the geography and architecture of different regions. Google Earth allows you to take students on field trips that you would never be able to afford.

I believe that Google Earth can be used in many specialized ways to drive learning.

This is an excellent tool to help kids realize that there are real people in the rest of the world living their daily lives. Google Earth has many great features that can help history and geography come alive. It is a very full-featured program, so there may components of the program that you never get to, but that's ok. Just helping kids understand where a story is taking place can make all the difference.

This is a diverse app that can be added to almost any devise. The students really enjoy finding things that are familiar to them. This can be used as a hook to discussing a variety of different things.

When we search for Earth Caches of important earth science topics and geocaches which have been hidden all over the community, Google Earth has been an important location tool.

I work in a low-income district and Google Earth allows me to show my students parts of the world that they would not otherwise be able to see.
