Google Earth Projects

Here are three neat projects using Google Earth:

Latitude and Longitude Game
Students are given latitude and longitude of a major city and are asked to find it using Google Earth, in order to gain a better perspective of latitude and longitude.

Three-Dimensional Structures
Students build three-dimensional models of famous buildings using different views of that building (i.e., top, side, front).

North American Explorers
Students create presentations of the routes that Viking, French and English explorers had taken to North America and explain the reason for their journeys. [examples]
