This week for IP&T we did a lot of touring around google earth. I loved it! One of the searches I did was for Tornadoes, especially in Indiana, which is where I am from. I Think this is a great tool to use during a lesson plan, especially about weather and tornadoes. I also liekd it because it gives some background on my own personal history, about where I grew up.
This is the tour I took.

This would be great to show students about different areas of the country and what kind of weather they have. Not every state has tornadoes, for example. I think kids would find this really interesting. I found it fun to see which areas of Indiana had more tonadoes, especially when it showed my hometown as one of the major tornadoe areas.
