At first when I heard of Google Earth, I automatically thought social studies and geography. The idea of using Google Earth in the classroom seemed weird to me at first; however, now I find it to be a great tool to use. This tool would be a great tool to use in social studies, science, math, and even English. I am going to be an English teacher in the future, and I can see myself using Google Earth. I believe that the Google Lit. Trips are wonderful tools to use in the classroom. It allows students to see where the characters in the book have been. It is also a good tool to use when a book describes a certain place because you can quickly have your students get on and look it up to picture it. This all allows the readers to connect to the story they are reading as well as the character. It will allow the students to imagine the book in a whole new way. These are just a few of the great reasons why Google Earth is a great tool to use in the classroom. I will use this in my classroom after seeing the amazing things it can do.
