Interesting Uses

  • Google Earth is our Paper  - Uses a location on Google Earth to drive a class story writing project. For this project they added audio to the description balloons using Vocaroo, a handy quick way to record and embed audio. Download the KMZ file from the project to see the story and hear the audio.
  • Dig a Hole through the Earth - Download the file and find out where on the globe you'd come out if you dug a hole through right through the earth.

Interesting Layers

I think they're ALL interesting, but ...

  • World Panoramic Photography - 360 Cities -  Fascinating 360 degree panoramas from this site are available as a layer in the Gallery Layers section of Google Earth. Zoom in on a region and look for the 360 symbols.
  • USHMM Crisis in Darfur - Find this in the Global Awareness folder in the Layers panel.
