Our last story in our reading book is called Cross Country Vacation. The family takes a two week road trip. I used a program called Google Earth to show the students the places that the family went. We also looked at a picture of our school and our town from the sky. Google Earth is a free program that you have to download onto your computer. You can go here:
http://earth.google.com/ to find it.
You can also see photographs of our town, or anywhere else in Google Maps. That is a website that you do not have to download.
http://maps.google.com/After you type in an address, click the button that says Satellite
to see the map as a photograph.
You can use the + and - to Zoom in and out.
