Google Lit Trip Review
I reviewed Macbeth.kmz from Jerome Burg's Google Lit Trips. It took me a few minutes to get moving and "fly" into places. Once I did that, it became exciting. It was fun to see pictures of castles and get a handle on how close/far the armies of central characters were from each other. (I also remembered the omni-theater feeling that makes you feel a little nauseous...but it is so cool that you suppress it!) I liked the idea of using geography to supplement the story, and add resources for each country's history, such as other wars.

However, I was disappointed at how little the story is actually told. This seems like a good project for students to complete while or after they read the play; the actual map tells you very little about the context or main idea. I think it could be improved by adding a tour that gives you more chronology.
