Response to Troy’s Google Earth

This sounds like an amazing site. Just on Troy’s description I can see it has an amazing potential for use in the primary classroom. Obviously it could be used to show students Paris or Iraq or anything to do with geography. But I would also love to use it with students who have pen pals in other countries. It could really show the students what life is really like, taking their understanding out of the abstract and into the concrete. 

This is a fantastic site Troy!

    Thats a great idea. I also think it could be used in science if doing a unit on built environments. and drawing when doing things like top down view. I’m sure there are many more uses for it.
