Last week while reading some random blog I found myself immersed in Google Earth related lesson plans. I find these lessons so interesting because they tie some concept to a geographical location. Using the power of Google Earth I am immediately hooked on something I would have otherwise skipped or ignored. I wonder how many of our students feel this way? GoogleLitTrips is a perfect example of using Google Earth to support a lesson which many students may not find interesting. Check out the Grapes of Wrath tour of America. Now I actually want to go and reread that book just to connect the places to the story!

Joe,
Thanks for the kind words about GoogleLitTrips. I’m pleased that you find the site interesting and that the Grapes of Wrath trip actually triggered a desire to reread the book.
