The Next Step

One of the big projects in my Introduction to Travel class is to create a Google Map about Vancouver. I’ve received a handful of pretty decent maps but when I was grading the last one today I saw the little ‘View in Google Earth’ link for the very first time. Decided what the heck, and followed the steps to load the Google Map into G.Earth. Once it loaded, hit play on the left hand side and let Earth do the rest. Wow. It really brings a Google Map to life, takes you right into the heart of the location students are studying.

Think all my Geography/Travel students need to have G. Earth on their computers for next year. I only recommended it this year because its a huge program and a lot of our student’s don’t have good computers so heavy downloads can get cumbersome, but this is a must.
