Parent Pointer: Google Earth

written by Kristen Harms// posted by Elegan Kramer

Google Earth enables you to travel, explore, and learn about the world by interacting with a virtual globe. You can view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, and much more.


Interact to Google Earth as a family!


  1. Relive family trip-drop markers on the most important places and describe them. Add personal photos and videos to make it more vivid.

  2. Plan a dream vacation-do the same thing as above, but instead, show where you would like to travel someday.

  3. Family History Timeline-show your family’s migration history.

  4. Find You on the Map-drop a marker on your house and family members homes.  Use points of reference to identify scale and distance.
