Google Earth and Literature

I was reading about a workshop offering about Google Earth and literature. I don't have time to go to the workshop, but thought I would investigate it myself. It turns out there is an amazing blog about this GoogleLit. If you have Google Earth installed, you can go to this website and download virtual tours of books. It looks as if this site is being added to all the time by teachers.If you had access to a projector and a computer, this would be a wonderful way to lead a discussion about literature. Give yourself some time to really explore this site. I love it and am trying to find a way to include it in our curriculum. They have titles about the Civil War, Revolutionary Way, Paddle to the Sea and Big Anthony. There is a really interesting mix of books and I do expect this will grow to a great resource.
