Google Earth


How great is this tool. You can sit at your computer desk and take yourself away on a holiday, without leaving your chair. The information on the area's you choose to look at is amazing. For example when you look at 'The Great Barrier Reef' the information on this whole area is real and eye catching. To use this in the classroom would have heaps of benefits, you see the actual living things on your computer, this definitely beats text books and pictures. The information is so informative. To use this in a classroom would benefit all learners, and students could work in groups collaboratively, gaining huge amounts of knowledge and using the gained knowledge for any sort of assessment they're given. I would highly recommend this tool to my fellow colleagues at uni and when I'm working in schools.
