Welcome. For our first lab, we use Google Earth to help us understand and use GIS technology. This was my first time using Google Earth. I was very impressed with the simplicity of user control. Anyone with basic computer skills will be able to use this app. The user friendliness, makes this a good app for students and travelers. I found most of the tools very easy to use.
As I worked through the lessons, I kept thinking what a useful tool for travelers. I really liked that as I zoomed in on an area places of Interest would pop up. It was very easy to plot a course to different landmarks. I also found it easy to create place markers. I liked this feature and think it would be useful in creating a travel itinerary. I also enjoyed that I could take virtual tours of an area or create my own virtual tour.
I also see how useful this app would be in primary education. I think it would help student relate to their lessons in many subjects. A teacher would find it helpful in showing the student many things. I found myself visiting and learning about many places and imagine many students would too.
