10 Reasons Why
10. Totally changes "where I went on my summer vacation" journal entry.
9. Be teamed with another class (ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD) and collaborate ( http:// earth.google.com/outreach/tutorial_collaborate.html )
8. Lesson plans, kmz's, and tutorials, that have been lined up with standards, are available!!
7. Eliminates the need of flat, wall maps.
6. Bring the locale of a book to life by use of tours. (IE Make Way For Ducklings , Little House On the Prairie or for older students: Around the World in 80 days , Grapes of Wrath )

10 Reasons Why
5. Make the world a smaller place. Create placemarks of family members, e-mail pals, etc.
4. Ability to turn ANY lesson (geography, history, literature) into a more engaging and memorable experience.
3. Pre-Visit your upcoming field trip including distance and directions.
2. Latitude and Longitude coordinates take on much more meaning and understanding.
1. Visit locations (both present and past -- on earth and in space) that you and your students will probably never see in a lifetime.
