TCEA2009

"Good Stuff" from TCEA 2009 attendance.

**Google Earth** (Lundie): [|Google Lit Trips website]: some literature trips that are already created by other teachers. Not a huge list, but as teachers create, they can submit to the author of the website and he will add them. This [|website is the actual presenter's] from the workshop I took. She offers some useful tips for using, creating and evaluating Literautre Trips. At the bottom of the page are several documents (userguides, etc.) If you look at the side bar of her webpage, she presented Google Earth at TCEA last year as well and at NECC. Those handouts are listed as well and there are severl excellent lesson ideas for other uses of Google Earth for a variety of grade levels.
