DIGITAL RESOURCES: Getting Google Earth Started at School

Take the virtual product tour at "See Google Earth in Action", an introductory site that shows how to perform all of the amazing features of Google Earth, including the ability to: 'fly' to an address, zoom, tilt, and rotate the image, create driving maps, email images, produce 3D buildings and terrain, and measure distances. Along the way you can click on the right and it will take you to The Top 10 sites, from the Grand Canyon to the wonderfully magic-but-slowly-sinking city of Venice, Italy. After you've jetted around the globe for a while, click on the upper right-hand corner of the page where it says "Get Google Earth Free Version". Note: the images are not in real time, but date back within a 3 year time frame, with city satellite images being updated more readily than rural areas.
