This week we were learning about 2D and 3D shapes. Inspired by the maths maps series by Tom Barrett http://edte.ch/blog/ I used the photos part of google maps in one of our ICT lessons.
My class absolutely loved this activity and have seen shapes in everything they have looked at since! Many told me that they went home that evening and showed their parents which is a pretty good indication of how well it went down!

Sounds like you had a great time! I'm sure the children learned a great deal and certainly enjoyed themselves!
I hope this is just the start of more and more great crowdsourced things for you and your class!
Great idea -- thanks for posting all of the steps. I imagine this would work well for all kinds of geometry lessons.
