Help with planning school trips:
The idea behind each package is to show video from a wide variety of locations relating to the subject concerned. Depending on the location, each file contains video clips, photographs, maps and Google Earth Placemarks. All these tools can help in planning school field trips by showing popular and less well known locations, placing them on the globe via Google Earth and perhaps providing additional historical information.
At a minimum, students, can see moving images of the the places where the history they are studying really happened, further reinforcing the subject matter being studied. In addition, they will see places they realistically may never get to visit themselves or perhaps inspire them to go there in the distant future.
