Thoughts after reading Richardson & Berger

After reading Richardson & Berger books, I quickly realized that Google Earth can be used for so much more than I had been using it for. Google Earth was no longer a tool for simply looking at pictures or seeing your house from a satellite or street view; it was a tool that my students could use for actual curricular topics.
I quickly learned that Google Earth has a measurement tool that can be used to measure the length of an object or building. This measurement tool can also be used to measure the area of any building anywhere on Earth. This gave me a great idea for a small, 1 week project were my students learned a great deal about measurement, units of measurement, conversion and perimeter.
