September 6, 2005 - Google Earth ~ An Amazing Resource

If you haven't done it already, download Google Earth. This program allows you to get a bird's eye view of the entire world. This program is loaded with satellite imagery some so detailed you think you were flying over the place. Google Earth is not only an excellent research tool but is fascinating at the same time. Unfortuntately, the detail on Thunder Bay is not that good, but it is for almost all major cities around the world. The same functionality is available on the web-based Google Maps. • Visit Google Maps • Download Google Earth Note: You do require a decent computer and a fast Internet connection in order for Google Earth to function properly.

Remember when you used to have to use encyclopedias and Natural Geographic magazines to find maps and information. Not any longer, today kids have no excuses for being able to find information on just about everything via the Internet.
