Google Earth
Page 5 / 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!
