reflection for google earth

Reflection

Google earth would an excellent addition to an assignment. In the last assignment you gave to us, I commented on the Hawaii by saying that the game had less-than-adequate information for a class assignment. Google earth can allow a teacher to enhance the work and information for students, where Hawaii game fell short by, creating a more focal point on an assignment. An example would be the battle of Gettysburg; students would require writing about the history by following bookmarks and adding pictures from the internet to those bookmarks placed by the teacher. Add in all the features of Google earth, and the assignment, just as this one, becomes fun!
