Integrating Technologies in the Classroom through Google Earth:

The purpose of this blog is to promote the educational uses of not only different technologies into various classrooms. But to also promote how using Google Earth can be educational, creative, manageable, and fun to use in a multitude of ways in all classrooms. With this, Google Earth can be used not only in a technologically based classroom but can be used in not only all grade levels; Kindergarten, Elementary School, Middle School, High School and College, but can also be used in course like Literature, History, Science, Mathematics, Art and so many more subjects.
