As you know Mr Booth is always harping on about the wonders of Google Earth and trying to use it in his Geography lessons. Well now have a look at this site...
Go to Google.co.uk and click on MAPS at the top of the page. Zoom out so that you can see USA, New Zealand, Japan and even parts of France. Point to the symbol of a man on the top left of the screen and drag it to anywhere that has turned blue on your maps. You can zoom into street level.
Click on the arrows on the street and the image move that direction. Hold the mouse button down and move the mouse and you can see 360 degrees.
Yes BH and ZWD in my class you can finally see those scenes of New York that I was telling you about! AC and DR ( also in my class) you can look around at NASA in Florida.
Once you have explored the world, click off the photo and then click onto MORE and tick the photos and video. You should be able to see millions of images from all over the world. Think global. Find strange islands in the South Pacific or ice frozen mountains in Norway. Remember it's YOUR world. You can start exploring it right here.
That's it. We will be back a week today so I am sure that I will mention it once or twice..... maybe three or four times :)
I hope the homework is going ok. No one has made any COMMENTS so I look forward to it seeing all when we get back.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
