Google Earth

I hadn't had much of a chance to play around with google earth before. It's really fun. (I can see how it could be a big distraction) I think I tried google earth once last year to see if I could find places in Vienna and at that time it couldn't zoom in much at all. This time, I was able to get close enough to pick out landmarks. It was also easy to find my house and then follow the streets to my friend's houses and other places I knew. What an interesting tool this could be for schools teaching geography. It's pretty cool to watch the map move from one side of the world to the other....it definitely gives you a perspective of how far way things are.
