Sidebar: Search, Places, LayersThe sidebar manages much of your content in Google Earth.
The sections are
Search – Where you search for addresses, businesses, and directions. You can then fly there!
Places – My Places stores your content. This includes content you have collected and content you have created.
Layers – Content created by other people, companies like Discovery, and databases. These include maps, videos, images, borders, books, and much more.
DEN, 20088
Sidebar: Search
Fly To: Go ahead, type in your address. Try landmarks, city names, and more! Note: These are not real time images!
Find Businesses: Type in needed services, stores, etc.
Directions: Point to point directions plus a flying tour!
DEN, 20089
Sidebar: PlacesThe sidebar manages much of your content in Google Earth. Places stores your content.
My Places stores everything you have marked, your Placemarks, Image Overlays, and tours. When you open files or visit places they are stored first in Temporary Places
“Add Content” links to many interesting places and a great place to explore.

Sidebar: LayersSome of the most powerful education tools in the Sidebar are in Layers. When checked, Layers overlay Google Earth with new features.
The best are in the Gallery.
Hint: Do NOT check too many layers. Your screen will get crowded!

First Things First
• Create a Folder (Ctrl+Shift+N)
• This will help us keep our placemarks organized.
• When you add new Placemarks with the folder open, the Placemarks automatically go into the folder.

Placemarks
Adding Placemarks
Click on Placemark
Give it a name
Choose an icon
Add text to the description box
The box is actually a mini-web page. We will explore the power in this feature for media later.
DEN, 200815
Organizing Placemarks
Placemarks will show up in My Places. A “tour” will fly to all the resources in a checked folder.
Check folders to activate places. Don’t check too many or navigation gets difficult.
Double click on Place to fly there—or click the play button to go to all checked places in order.
• To fly over all your place marks click, highlight your folder and click the play button.

To find out distance traveled, from the menu bar select “Tools” then “Ruler”
By clicking different points with your mouse you can create a line or a path.
Line measures distance between two points.
Path measures distances on a path with many points.
To convert units of measure select from the drop down menu.
A Path is the way to connect Placemarks or Image Overlays on a Google Lit trip or Google History Expedition, etc.! Kids or teachers can build them.

Saving, sharing, and backing up
You can save and share everything in My Places.Go to File and select Save. Save the place or folder as a .kmz It will be small. You can email it, post it, leave it on the shared drive or back it up!
When someone opens the .kmz file, Google Earth will automatically be launched or users will be encouraged to download the program.

The Description Box - A Deep Resource
You can cut and paste your own text, images, and websites into the code to get the ScreenOverlays and Description Box Pictures and Text Formatting to enhance your classroom Google Earth experience. Pay attention to the carriage returns in the code. If you just paste your own information over the text in red, you should be okay. Note: The red lines may be wrapping around in the examples below without carriage returns. Don’t add any carriage returns to match the way the screen with these lines looks They are also bigger font just for your reading pleasure.
DEN, 200832
The Description Box - A Deep Resource
Pictures in Description Boxes
Find an image on the web you would like for your Description Box. To get the exact address of that image, click on it as “Copy Image Location” (FireFox), “Copy Image Address” (Safari), etc. Cut and paste the address over the red lines. Be sure not to touch the symbols and quotation marks around the red lines. The examples are in a bigger font and are red. Then put the whole thing in the Description Box. The image should then appear in the box, You can put text with it, too, just by typing after the line commands. Give yourself some carriage returns between the code and the regular text.

Formatting Video Links in Your Description Box You can add spaces, carriage returns, and other formatting to make your description boxes better. The examples are in a bigger font and are red </center> <a href="http://earth.google.com/green/LV1.html">Click for Video</a>

The Description Box - A Deep Resource
Live Webcams
The webcam pictures will appear inside the Description Box of Placemarks. They will refresh as often as the webcam refreshes. Cut and paste the webcam address of another web over the red text below. When getting a webcam address, be sure you have a direct webcam address and not an intermediary site address (look for the .jpg extension). Cut and paste over the red text below with your selected webcam address.
<center> <img src="http://www.manntheatres.com/webcam/images/camera2 -0.jpg"> </center> You can type readable information in the box after a carriage return.

Embedding Windows Media Compliant Files (.mp3, .wmv, .asf, .mpg, .avi) - Movies and Audio
On the next slide is the basic code you will need to put in your placemark description windows (Create a placemark, or get 'Properties'' of an existing placemark). There are only a few things you need to change to get it to work, but you can fiddle with some of the <param> functions too if you wish. The red text items are the only things you need to change while the lavendar ones are optional.! If you have multimedia in a non Windows Media recognized format, like Quicktime or RealPlayer, the conversion utility 'Super' is a free, very powerful tool. Lavendar text are optional settings you can change if you wish by making them either 'true' or 'false'

Thank you, Brad Fountain for finding this code (Windows only, for now)

Insert Video: An easy way using You Tube.
Upload a video onto You Tube.
You Tube will give you code when your upload is complete.
Paste that code into your description box. You will have video that plays on Google Earth.
This is for Windows only, at the moment.

Deeper into Image Overlays (Screen Overlays)
For ScreenOverlays – The “Floating Head” Effect Cut and paste over the red lines. Be sure not to touch the symbols around the red lines. The examples are in a bigger font and are red just for clarity. Remember after pasting in your own pictures for ScreenOverlays you must convert the document to a kmz file by changing its extension. You change the extension just like you change a name. Ignore the warning you will receive. To see your overlay, click on the kmz file which should launch GoogleEarth or open it from GoogleEarth. For more detail, see the accompanying PowerPoint. Note: For this version, the picture must be on the web. To get the address of the image you want to use instead of the head, go the image you want on the web, right -click (control-click on Mac). “Copy Image Address” then paste over the image address in the code below. Your browser may use a slightly different command. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1"> <ScreenOverlay id="khScreenOverlay974"> <name>Beard</name> <LookAt id="khLookAt975"> <longitude>-61.69480402391395</longitude> <latitude>16.11957090813545</latitude> <altitude>0</altitude> <range>10056.25389044684</range> <tilt>77.67246913730361</tilt> <heading>-24.37696764355566</heading> </LookAt> <Icon> <href>http://www.denblogs.com/media_matters/images/2007/06/21/hallbeardtnbw.png</href> </Icon> <overlayXY x="0.5" y="0.5" xunits="fraction" yunits="fraction"/> <screenXY x="0.3" y="0.7" xunits="fraction" yunits="fraction"/> <rotationXY x="0.5" y="0.5" xunits="fraction" yunits="fraction"/> <size x="0" y="0" xunits="pixels" yunits="pixels"/> </ScreenOverlay> </kml> The blue numbers in the ScreenOverlay code determine the size of the image in relationship to the screen and the where the image will be within the screen. Play around with them and see how the size and location changes. The numbers are locations on the x/y coordinate plane. “Fractions” mean a fraction of the screen. Pixels are hard sizes.
