Goggle Earth

Google Earth the best way to waste tones of precious time, well it was for me anyway. I still remember being in Japan and showing my host family my house from above. Actually it was rather difficult as it was their computer and the whole system was in Japanese, lucky the layout is relatively the same.

I love this idea of creating earth tour, it definitely would be make an interesting activity for students. In my Japanese class students could plan a trip they would recommend somebody took. At each place they could write reasons why someone should go to each place. Things like they have really good sights, excellent festivals and many other things. They could included photos and even go into detail about why this is done. The activity would be excellent in having students investigate the culture according to different parts of Japan.
