Later on during our class, we had the opportunity to explore more Google Earth
and below you can see the other images I shot during my class
When you are navigating around the globe in google earth you see different Icons, that you can click and different information or files pop up. Some of the icons are linked to information posted from nonprofits that help those areas. For instance I went to Africa, and there are a lot of organizations such as WWF to help animals and others to help people that have their links to information to alert and inform the people about animals or people that live in those areas. I even found journal of a scientific that have been studying the monkey on the picture below -->
According to the pop up window, this person have been following and studying that monkey since it was born, and it gives you information about it and pictures.
I dont think geography classes can be boring anymore, as they use to be, I love to see the 3d image of the globe it is fun, very impresive and real.
The potential Google earth has is huge, not only for finding places, but for teaching, or for communicating.
