Pages ~ Easily Create Eye-Catching, Graphics Filled Newsletter (Jay Mumford and Martha Giller) Google Lit Trips (Eileen Vaughn) During the Google Lit Trip presentation, participants saw how to enhance a reading experience by using Google Earth and the tools in the Google Earth program. The presentation was based on a juvenile fiction book, The Wanderer by Sharon Creech. By using Google Earth’s Placemarks and Paths, teachers (and students) can integrate technology into all subject areas. It is an interesting way to create a virtual trip on our planet.
