Google Earth is a great tool for students to use to explore the world. Building tours in Google Earth and Google Maps is one of my favourite activities for students to do to tell a story. It can take a while to understand all of the nuances of creating tours in Google Earth. Fortunately, Google recently introduced Tour Builder which makes it easier than ever to create tours in Google Earth.
