E Journal 6 Classroom 2.0 Google Earth: NETS I, III, V

I looked at the tool Google Earth. This is a very cool tool. The tool allows a teacher in many different fields to be able to show students real picture of the earth. A math teacher can use Google earth to show distant question, such as the straight path compared to the path we take in car. Google earth is a website were satellite picture of earth are put on a site.The picture are in real time so one can look at their house or where a famous place in the world is. This is a great tool for History teachers, to show their students where say the Battle of the Bulge took place. This website can also show you pictures of streets, from the car on the street. When I threaded a question about can Google Earth place without knowing the name of the street and as long as you have a Longitude and a Latitude you can find any place on the earth, i also asked if the Military uses it and the said that the military has it own site. I really liked visiting the other tools on this website, and i liked the way that you can talk to other teacher, and educational professionals.
