Tips for using:
== Google Earth  ==

**Take it slow - enjoy the view**
[|(Originally posted on my blog)] Google Earth is fantastically visual and the kids love it when we quickly zoom back to earth from afar. But we are missing so much! So I decided to slow things down. I basically changed the Fly-To speed settings, from the Tools menu>Options>Touring. I reduced the speed as much as I could using the slider. Now with a much slower zoom you have the ability as a teacher to reflect on what you see - so if we are zooming in from space I am able to talk about the continents we can see and then countries and regions. It just gives you and the kids much more time to take in the view!
