Google Earth - Chromebook Version with Lit Trips......

Linked is a great Blog Post By Eric Curtis of Control Alt Achieve.  He highlights Lit Trips within the NEW Google Earth within the post and the video.  Before Google Earth had to be downloaded in order to use it, but now it has a web version which runs within the Chrome browser.  This is especially great since next year we will have Chromebooks within our district.   Enjoy!
