Google Earth Digitally travel the world

How about planning a digital trip in class?

With Google Earth we can talk about cities and we can actually go there!
I'm sure students will benefit from getting to know where the cities are before they talk about them.
I used one of my favorite tools and planned an information gap activity. Student A listens to a couple planning a day in Jerusalem...



Student B goes to Hawaii...




Students were asked to plan a day in a place of their choice using Google Earth and prepare a brief report justifying their choices.
Where would you go if you could just leave right now, how would you spend your day?
