Seth Dixon, Ph.D.‘s insight:
Google Earth is a great teaching tool for geographers, but it is also a way to bring geography and spatial thinking to other disciplines. Google Lit Trips makes the journeys that take place in literature (both fiction and non-fiction) all the more real by mapping out the movements as a KML file that can be viewed in Google Earth. By embedding pictures, websites, videos and text into the path, this becomes an incredibly interactive resource for teachers of all levels.

GEOGRAPHY EDUCATION

Hi:
I am a high school science teacher and use Google Earth chapter tours of maritime classic literature to engage students in a multidisciplinary way. The material is at: http://Sailthebook.net
It’s a fun way to introduce science, history, art and geographic awareness.
Feel free to share the material.
