The Big Google Lit Trips Transition

To explore a brief Preview of a typical Premier Edition Google Lit Trip, click the image to the left!

We have transitioned our entire Classic Google Lit Trip library to a collection we are calling the Google Lit Trips Premier Edition that provides significantly enhanced and immersive viewing possibilities where students become virtual traveling companions with characters from the stories they are reading.

Important Information: We have updated all  existing Lit Trips to  work on  desktops, laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets. Older KMZ/KML file versions will no longer be updated.
