Week 4 - Mapping (Google Earth)

This assignment seemed pretty straightforward and easy; however, I was having trouble with the images not popping up, so I got frustrated and just stopped working on the assignment for a week. When I tried again, the pictures worked fine, but this time I was having trouble with the navigation tools. I got the project completed, but I have to say it was not a fun experience. Actually, it wasn't too bad until I had to record...then it got a bit complicated.

In terms of classroom use I din't think I would use it in the class, but Denvy came up with a nice list of uses. Honestly, I don't think I would have been able to come up with very many ideas. I like the ideas for elementary grades, since that is the age group I will be teaching. I like the idea about teaching neighborhood safety, however, I would hope google earth is up to date for that purpose.
