I have made a few tours using Google Earth, SketchUp 3D drawings downloaded from Google, and some UnitedStreaming videos.
To view these tours you need the latest version of Google Earth.
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World Tour (0.77 mb)
Each placemark has a photo and short description.
Some placemarks have UnitedStreaming video.
Some placemarks have 3D SketchUp Drawings if you have the latest version of Google Earth.
Washington, D.C. Tour (1.63 mb)
Placemarks and SketchUp Images of:
Iwo Jima Memorial
Pentagon
Lincoln Memorial
Washington Monument
White House
RFK Stadium
J Edgar Hoover Building
National Gallery of Art
Each Placemark has a photo, links to Wikipedia Articles, each spots website, and some UnitedStreaming videos.

Download – Google Earth
– Google SketchUp
You only need Google Earth to view the Tours. You can use Google SketchUp to draw in your own buildings and add them to Google Earth.
I downloaded the SketchUp 3D images from the SketchUp 3D Warehouse.
Some nice work here – have passed on your Egypt resource to some colleagues teaching it this term.
Good job with this… if you do any more I would like to see them. I teach 6th Grade World History in SC. Thanks, Brian
Hi Mr. Williams!!!
I think you did a great job with your field trips via GE.
Can you please post or email me the directions? I started by creating a folder and inserting placemarks, then saving the project as a KMZ file… but only the first “field trip” location shows up…
THANK YOU!!!
Mr. Williams,
Do you still have that word doc handout on how to add placemarks, pictures and UnitedStreaming videos to Google Earth?
