This year we spruced up flight day with Google Earth. I created tours in Google Earth so that our students could virtually ‘fly’ from Denver International Airport to their destination (France, Germany, and Mexico). Before landing in the destination country, we toured famous buildings, landmarks, and points of interest in the destination country. Flight day begins with a re-arranging of the classroom. Chairs are arranged in rows to simulate an airplane. Desks surround the chairs and act as the airplane enclosure. Students prepare for flight day by creating suitcases (that looks like the flag of the destination country) and passports for their travel.
