Google Earth
Page 6 / 6
There is an excellent Google Earth User Guide at the site.
I thought it would be interesting to search for world architecture and civic/public squares and to mark and tag it in Google Earth. Here are some topic suggestions:
- St.Peter's Square (Piazza San Pietro), Rome
- St. Mark's Cathedral (Piazza San Marco), Venice
- Colosseum, Rome
- Chartres Cathedral, Chartres
- Parthenon, Athens
- The Palm Islands, Dubai, UAE
- Empire State Building, New York City
- Sear's Tower, Chicago
- CN Tower, Toronto
In the Google Earth User Guide see section "Marking Places" for:
- Creating a New Placemark
- Saving a Point of Interest
- Sharing a Placemark
- Saving Search Results
- Saving Images
- Printing
You can now search for various landmarks in interesting cities, find images of high resolution and present these on a powerpoint slideshow for a class presentation. Have fun!
