Here&#8217;s a cool project you can do with your students to highlight the special features and landmarks of each region. Open GoogleEarth and be sure that 3D buildings is turned on (it&#8217;s in the left side panel).  Then zoom in on features and famous landmarks in the region and place pushpins to mark the locations.  Finally click the &#8220;Record a Tour&#8221; button in the top toolbar (it looks like a video camera) and click the pushpins in the &#8220;My Places&#8221; menu.  As you zoom to each place, record yourself narrating the important information. You can save the video as a .kmz file which would open in GoogleEarth on any computer.  However, if you want to add titles or a soundtrack, you could use a screen capture tool like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.screencast-o-matic.com\/\">Screencast-O-Matic<\/a>, save your video and open it in iMovie or GarageBand.  Take a look at <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/31March2011\/5thMidwestTour.mov\">this student sample about the midwest region<\/a> from Chamberlayne Elementary.
