Community reviews for Google Earth

Students are mesmerized by this investigative program. They enjoy finding and "taking pictures" of places they are studying about. I hope this stays free forever!

Great tool for combining geographic skills with math knowledge.

Google Earth is a great way to get familiar with the imagery and topography of our planet. It helps to make geography - both its cultural and physical facets - tangible and awe-inspiring.

This is a must in every classroom and every grade level. The learning and teaching capabilities are endless. Science, geography, photography, math, etc. The students are actively engaged.

Google Earth can have numerous applications in the classroom. It can easily integrate with social studies units, allowing students to "travel" to different parts of the world and have a first-person look at new sites and landmarks. It can also be used to have students practice math tasks, such as calculating the mileage between different locations or the size of different places and students can use their explorations in Google Earth as the starting point for both fiction and non-fiction stories about different parts of the world.

Google Earth is a website that allows you view areas and places that you do not have the opportunity to visit.
