I have HUGE plans for Google Earth- limited knowledge, but that is going to change. I want to use Google Earth to help my students start off with basic geography- where are we (small to all-house to global location).
As we work our way through our world history/ancient cultures themes I would like them to flag (?) their starting point and then as we work our way through history, add in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Rome, and Greece. I am eager to explore a way to labels that are historical and current.
I would love to skype with our classes when I teach 4th grade and the two schools can work together. Or, they can work on presentations together. That would be so much fun! I love your idea of having the students do 20 questions to try to figure out where in the world our skype buddies are! Another great idea that we can do in Google Drawing and Google Presentation is to make a "Monster Drawing". We can have students write a paragraph then have others draw it.
