Mar. 10, 2007 - Google Earth is so cool!
My 6 yods is hooked on Google Earth. He will sit at the computer for hours if I let him just zooming in on little islands in the middle of the ocean, and scrolling over neighborhoods in New Jersey. He was excited this morning when he found South America. He practices spelling too as he searches for places.
"Mom, how do you spell England?"
We bookmark locations that we've studied, like the little red lighthouse in New York City next to the Great Gray Bridge. We've checked out Temple Square, Washington, D.C., found the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Canal in Venice, and the Colosseum in Rome.
OK, I'll admit it, I think it's pretty cool, too! And it's free! Can't beat that.

Wow, we use Google Earth all the time but never like this. The Eiffel Tower. I could show them the village in Italy where I lived as a teenager.....I have always wanted to show them that and thought it would be impossible. How absolutely cool.
