PE1_Google Earth

Google Earth a great tool in itself but it also has educational values. One feature that will give you the majority of the educational value is the "Fly To" feature. Using the "Fly To" feature all you have to do is type in an address, city, or state and Google Earth immediately "flies" to that location. Once you're there you have other features under the "Layers" tab that enhances your "visit" such as "turning on" the roads and borders, looking at pictures of the streets and it even shows the weather.
This feature will be vital to my AR because I can use it to go to certain parts of the world and show my students where most of the famous composers in music history come from.
