Google Earth

I decided to post a link to a castle to set the tone of a book we may read like Robin Hood or such things. Kids love to learn about princesses, and knights in shining armor. I this week i learned that you can make a virtual tour around the world on Google earth. I also found out that wikipedia is set up with the maps so that you can read more about the places that you are searching for. I also think it's awesome that you can take measurements with a ruler and measure the latitude and longitude of each place. This could be used in the science, geography and math units.
