Welcome to this ressource page on 'Google Earth'. A few sections are written in Danish since these guidelines are/were designated Danish friends and family. For all you others feel free to check out our homemade kmz files, google earth tours, placemark collections like; the Suez canal tour, the Gudenaa river tour, the Kiel canal tour and the mighty Amazon river tour. Not to mention the Mount Everest tour and K1, K2, K3, K4, K5 mountains. Or take the tour through great and grand canyons along the Colorado river. Dive into the deepest part of the oceans by taking the Mariana trench tour.

This is a great handout with illustrated instructions for creating placemarks and tours in Google Earth created by David Jakes. If you click on the little yellow comment bubble in the upper-right corner of the first page, you can find the Word doc version to adapt for your own students/teachers.

So full of win!

This is so cool.

Mashup of a Google Map (with placemarks) and YouTube videos featuring animals in their respective homes. Great for younger students!

A nice post about how to use Google Docs to be able to put images in a Google Earth Placemark.
