Take a Tour of the Civil War

The places in history are just as important as the events that took place there. Together, we will use programs such as Google Earth and googlemaps to discover the places that were important to the Civil War. These programs are wonderful ways to take a virtual tour of the places that were so influential back in the time of the Civil War. Each student will research ten places and identify them using googlemaps. After each student has had a chance to learn all about their ten places, they will present them to the rest of the class using both googlemaps and Google Earth. I am so excited to introduce these programs to you! Both of them can be used in many ways in the future and I hope this project inspires your own ideas for the further use of googlemaps and Google Earth! So join me on our virtual tour of the Civil War!
