Google Earth is now available as a web based application. While Google Earth has been around for quite some time, it was as a download program which meant it wasn't accessible for Chromebooks and some other devices. You can now access Google Earth on most devices through Google Chrome-your web browser. You can click on the Google Earth Link or go to earth.google.com. Google Earth has some cool features like the Voyager which brings you to pre-made journeys with information about the destinations. Take students on a guided tour of exotic locations around the globe. Feeling Lucky allows you to head to random locations and learn about places you may not have even heard of before. My Places - search for and book mark, or click on feeling lucky and add those to your places to create your own travel adventure. This creates something similar to Voyages, but doesn't have all of the detailed information that comes with a Voyage adventure. One really cool feature about Google Earth is you can move from birds eye view to street view, and as you move around the globe Google Earth gives keeps the global perspective by showing you the earth as it sits in space. Below is a quick overview of Google Earth. I have only been able to explore it for a few minutes. I will update this post as I figure out new features.
