Practical Ed Tech Tip of the Week – Take a Tour of the New Google Earth

A new version of Google Earth was released last week. The highlight of the new version is that it is designed to be used in your web browser. In other words, it works on Chromebooks. The new Google Earth features lots of pre-made tours of interesting places all over the world. New information cards pop up whenever you enter and view a location in the new Google Earth. The best way to understand how the new Google Earth works is to watch the following video that I made about it. In less than a week it has become the most popular video I have made this year.

Using Google Earth and Google Maps on a Chromebook is a part of the schedule for the Practical Ed Tech Chromebook Camp.
