Well, I did download Google Earth and spent some time figuring out how to measure distance…with little success. I did however; find success in straight-line measurement. So my mileage is probably short because I could only do straight lines with a bit of success. Okay, I calculated 1495.19 miles on the archipelago. I began with the last bit of the state before it broke into islands. I also came up with 4682.09 miles for the Aleutian Trench.
I use Google Earth with my students on their IPADS each week and it is very successful. I have one student who recently moved from Tennessee and was able to locate her old home and share it with the class---what a great teaching tool!
