Google Earth

On Google Earth, I did a tour of my hometown Edmonds, WA. The picture to the left is my neighborhood and my house.

I had some trouble navigating and figuring out the tools but it was fun to explore and see my home from a satellite view.

I then did a tour of Paris, France and then around Egypt. It was interesting to see all the different patterns of structures between the three different places.

This could be used in the classroom to give a more visual idea as to what different places look like around the world and where they are in relevance to another place. Lastly, I looked at Sydney, Australia which I had found the most interesting. Children could play with this tool to gain a better understanding to the different landmarks around the world.
