This post is hopefully useful to classrooms as they learn about the state capitols and America's history. Attached are each state's capitol building. Unfortunately, two states do not have their capitol building in high-definition (currently, as of December 8, 2006). These states are Kentucky and Vermont. Also, I have recently added the locations of the Canadian capitols.
The use of them is up to you. Personally, I am a very visual learner, and seeing them used interactively would help me learn.
An additional resource (introduced by Lrae), is 50 States. Along with having tons of information, the website also links you to other helpful websites. Some of the information includes: size and location of state, when it entered the Union, state bird, state flower, state song, state flag, the state's climate, the state's economy, and much more. As always, encyclopedias also work well.
I hope schools will enjoy this information, but more importantly, learn from it. This attachment is a prime example of how Google Earth can be used in the classrooms. This is just the beginning, I hope to add more information about each state in the time to come! Any feedback is welcomed. Enjoy!
