Google Earth and Perspective.

Well, as I continue to finagle my way through different tools on Google Earth, I appreciate the multitude of perspectives this tool gives.  I have discovered the "street view" perspective that is applicable for many popular areas.  I may end up adding this in to my assignments for my students, they will have to explain how their view of a landmark (such as the Eiffel Tower), changes from the overhead satellite view to the street view.  They will have to answer questions such as:

How would a French person see the Eiffel Tower?  An astronaut?  A tourist?

These types of questions force them to consider different views and perspectives and get them thinking higher up on Bloom's Taxonomy.   Who knows, thinking about perspective could change their life! Thanks Google Earth!
