Google Earth Tools - Tour Builder

Saw a suggestion in the latest Google Education newsletter about using Google Earth tools to make a tour based on the settings in a novel or historical events. Very cool idea. If you are not familiar with Tour Builder you need to know that is doesn't just map and save a route for you, it also allows you to add videos, images, and text to the route. Of course the tour you make can be published and shared with others. For information on using Tour Builder go to this link Google Earth Tools - Tour Builder .
