Google Tools

I checked out the Google Earth tool and found out that it can measure distances and see all the areas of the earth.  I think this is a great tool to check out other parts of the world and see the different climates, building structures, etc.  This would be a great classroom tool to have students locate certain landmarks that is being discussed in social studies/history.  Also, to measure distances for math and explore space for science.  This is a very "Global" tool:)
