Google's Tour Builder is an easy to use but powerful tool for students to create virtual tours, including locations, images, videos, descriptions, hyperlinks, and more. These tours can be used in any subject area such as retelling the events from a novel, tracing the locations of a historical event, visiting different biomes or landforms around the world, and more. Tours can be viewed by others in Tour Builder, or even imported into Google Earth for a full 3D experience.

Tour Builder - a Google Earth Experiment

Tool Builder by Google is a tool for recording and sharing stories with maps, a real breakthrough that may be utilized in all levels of education. It's a must-see! 

Here's a link to a sample: Catlin Seaview Survey Underwater Streetview Tour

PC & MAC: I had no problem viewing the Tour Builder sample with Chrome. I didn't need to install anything. 
MAC: I was successful using Safari. You'll need to install the Google Earth extension if you haven't already, and Safari walks you through that process.
