The use of these tools in the classroom is invaluable. Google earth can be used to locate countries, discuss climates, and view parts of the world, which one may have never seen before. There is another aspect of google earth which is worth mentioning. That is of it's creativity in designing buildings in 3D. You can design your own town, make changes to existing cities and live in hope that perhaps one day the budding architect could visualise it in all it's glory. As a tool to help with longitude and latitude, plus measurements for building, it is a fabulous tool to have in the classroom.
Wikipedia is an online encycopledia, that details the most current and up to date information on just about anything. Most of my google searches always revert to wikipedia and I know that the information is reliable as it has passed strict publishing guidelines. As a tool in the classroom, I am certain that it would be used regularly
