Google Earth

I really enjoyed using Google Earth, however, I found myself very frustrated when adds kept popping up. I realized that you couldn't make push pins when you use the find a business tab; if you do, your properties won't show up, adds will. You can use the find a business tab to get the address you need, then push the fly in tab to type the address in there. Then, when a square shows up next to the address, click on that and add a push pin.

I am thinking I could use Google Earth to talk about communities. Together we could find the local police and fire departments, grocery stores, schools, housing developments, hospital, etc; basically creating our digital neighborhood. We could then maybe make it interactive, adding sticky notes discussing community roles.
