Google Earth

Second graders in Mrs. Moerdyk's class have learned to use Google Earth to explore the world during their map unit.  They traveled to Washington, D.C., New York City, London, Hawaii, Greenland, the Great Wall of China, several different colleges, and even found Bluebonnet Elementary!

The latest version of Google Earth continues to set the mapping paradigm.
