Google Earth in all its kinds has actually been among my preferred educational technology tools for well over a decade. The web version of Google Earth has actually improved considerably since its launch five years earlier. One of the relatively new functions of the web version of Google Earth is the ability to connect to locations within your tasks (AKA tours)..

Applications for Education.
One of my preferred ways to utilize Google Earth is to have trainees develop trips based upon a series of events. They add a markers for each occasion on the locations the events took place. Within each marker they compose descriptions of the occasion including its connection to other events. By including links in the place markers students can more accurately connect the series of events in their Google Earth jobs.

Linking within your Google Earth tours permits you have guide viewers of your trips to specific locations without them needing to click through every stop of the trip. Simply put, it permits them to avoid around without having to navigate sequentially. Enjoy my brand-new video to see how this works..
