I’ve been a Google Earth geek for a number of years. I used to think Google Earth was the be all and end all... and honestly, I still do. After all, what could ever rival a breathtaking view of Victoria Falls? Or the opportunity to create your own placemark, customized with embeded images, links to Discovery Education videos, and text that looks just right only after manipulating html code? And who could deny that touring within Google Earth is out of this world? Fascinating!
But just don't forget about Maps, boasting its own spectacular attributes. Similar to the nature of Google Docs, you can collaborate on Google Maps! Ever try Google Maps street view? Here's one well worth a look (courtesy of Mr. Pratt, innovative educator) Now that’s the next best thing to being there! Sure, Earth has its own street view capability, but I have to give this one to Maps!
