[LM_NET] TARGET: Google Earth lessons

[Nancy Kershner <nkershner@AMHERST.K12.VA.US>]

I am scheduled to do a project beginning with two gifted students at our 
school using Google Earth.  Here is the idea I have so far:  to look at the 
7Wonders site to see the 200 some nominees for the Natural Wonders of the 
World and then have the students do some research, including using Google 
Earth, so they can make their own choice of which Wonder they would choose 
and create a persuasive PowerPoint presentation on their choice.  Somehow, 
though, that seems like I'm limiting our use of Google Earth to some extent 
in this project.

I read David Gregorio's general ideas for using Google Earth, but I would 
like to know if anyone has done specific lessons  using it, and it doesn't 
matter whether the lessons are for elementary or secondary.  I will happily 
post a HIT.
