**Interactive Timeline**
====Students use Google Earth to mark historical events as they relate to your local region and a major global event. This example provides a chronological timeline of Fort Miles, Delaware as a significant location for harbor defense region during World War II.====

[|Adventures in Podcaching]
====Students will create placemarks in Google Earth identifying locations visited on their real or virtual field trip. They will add digital content to address the essential questions and instructional objectives created by the teacher on the podcache.====

Connecting World Regions, Geospatially
====Through the use of maps and Geographic Information Systems and Global Positioning Systems, students can examine changes in their own familiar area, then compare to another area in the world with similar changes. Together students can begin to explore and evaluate options for community involvement that promote best management practices for the future environment of our world.[| http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=786&version=486&pageID=1997]====

High Tech Treasure Hunt
====A high tech treasure hunt allows students to discover their heritage while investigating the rich history of a local city or town. Using a combination of technologies, such as global positioning units, iPods, and digital cameras, students are engaged in learning activities that lead to finding hidden treasures, known as caches!====

====Geocaching is an outdoor adventure game ,  which uses the Global Position System, displaying latitude and longitude coordinates to find a hidden "cache”. Caches are usually in a small, waterproof container and contain a logbook to record finders' visits and a few trinkets. A geocache could be hidden just about anywhere - a park, under a rock off a hiking trail. This hunt becomes even more high tech as we use iPods to listen to clues, digitally record our journeys, use digital cameras to capture photos, and laptops to create and publish podcasts. Learn the geography and history of your town by decoding cryptic clues along the way! Plot the coordinates on Google Earth and create a virtual tour. ====
