Ready-to-use lessons introduce how to use Google Earth and then apply the powerful mapping tool to U.S. geography and U.S. history from exploration through Reconstruction. A CD-ROM supplies customizable templates, and a 149-page spiralbound guide provides lesson plans with reproducible handouts. Example lessons: map Paul Revere's ride, map nine major battles of the Revolution, and enact an Underground Railroad scenario. Tied to NCSS and ISTE standards, the lessons require Internet access, and some lessons require GPS receivers. Grades 5–8. 8½& x 11&. Visions Technology in Education. ©2008.
