To enhance your Google Earth classroom experience, try importing a KML file to incorporate data that is not hosted on Earth. KML, or Keyhole Markup Language, is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth. You can create KML files to pinpoint locations, add image overlays, and expose rich data in new ways. It is possible to use KML files from your Google Drive folder or off your desktop by enabling import in settings.
