About the Google EarthTM Manual

The intent of this project is to provide teachers with little Google EarthTM experience the information and ideas that will enable them to develop high quality, good looking lessons using the Google EarthTM geospatial tool.
During the winter of 2006 - 2007, the manual was field tested by a group of Earth Science teachers under the guidance of several experienced mentors.

This edition of the manual was published in May of 2007 in both online and .pdf versions.
