Google Lit Trips

I found the article on Google Lit Trips to be extremely interesting. I had never heard of it before, but it seems like an incredible tool to use in the classroom. Students will become more engaged in their literature if they are able to use Google Lit Trips since they will have a way to more directly relate to the characters and places in the books they are reading. Instead of it being a book they have no relation to, students can actually get a sense of what the setting may have looked like if they are able to see a virtual tour of it. It opens up the learning possibilities for any give book, as well as keeps the students more interested and engaged. I think it also could be a great tool for students who learn better when information is presented to them in more than one way. A student who has trouble comprehending a book enough to create a picture in their own mind, can use Google Lit Trips to help them better understand the story.
