Quikmaps is perfect for: drawing a map to your house, sketching out a cycling or hiking route, or telling everyone where you saw the grizzly bear.
Draw pictures and label things on a google map using simple clicks and drags. Easily move the map to anywhere in the world.
Post the map on your blog or website. Quikmaps hosts your map, so you don't need to sign up for a 'google maps api key', or anything like that. All you need is a blog.
Don't have a blog? Want to email a map? No problem -- just send a link to your quik map.

Google Earth : Juicy Geography
Picture the classroom with a beautiful 3D globe projected onto a whiteboard. The subject is settlement and the place is Brazil. The lesson is focused on the location of shanty towns. The camera flies to the Dona Marta favela, Rio de Janeiro
Teaching ideas : The simplest way to start using Google Earth in the classroom is to add your school as a placemark in the My Places folder. Create a second folder for teaching locations. Fly to each place mentioned in a lesson!
