Google Earth Virtual Tour

Here is the virtual tour I created with Google Earth. I decided to trace some of the footsteps of our American patriots as well as the british loyalists. I enjoyed the process of finding spots and attaching the information along with the slides. I feel that the Google Earth program is especially helpful with tracking the footsteps of soldiers in war because of the way that google moves along the earth instead of fading or switching to different cites. Instead I can actually follow the direct route from Lexington to Concord and see where soldiers had to travel in order to get from town to town. I enjoyed this project and I expect to use it in the future with students in order to show them the distance and terrain covered by early soldiers.
