Sydney Opera House
This can be used to show my students where in the world we are in relation to Sydney, the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour. It can give my students a real sense of where they really are in the world. It can give a them a true view of how big the world is, show them the building that they are in at the time and slowly zoom out to show them at each stage where they are, at the school, in the neighbourhood, in Bundaberg, in Queensland, in Australia on Earth.

I also would like to use GoogleEarth to show students where they are in the world. Often students don't realise how big Australia is compared to Japan. Google Earth would allow me not only to show them size comparison but also how far away Japan is. Also a lot of students studying Japanese often get confused with China. I would use this tool to help them understand that these are two different places, and not the same.
