Web 2.0 Mash Up - Using Google Maps to teach aviation history

Web 2.0 is an exciting way to teach students.  Google maps can be matched up with a historical flight to make learning exciting.  Wiley Post's flight of the Winnie Mae around the world is an example.  Students could study these first flights and find each landing along the way.  They would learn about internet resources, geography, and aviation history.
