Google Earth is a great way for students to travel any where in the world to see exciting places or historic landmarks. Many large cities and important landmarks have street-level panoramic views. Google Earth is an easy and very inexpensive class trip.
Here are two really good sites to learn how to use Google Earth and even download a variety of pre-created Google Earth Tours.
Google Earth Lessons: A Free Public Resource - Providing Teachers with the tools needed to enhance their instruction using Google Earth®
Google Touring: This quick tutorial explains how you can create a Google Tour yourself.
Written by Scott Staub. The purpose of this blog is to help LASD teachers use updated technology and applications in their instructional classroom. It is my goal to post weekly comments that will help teachers use technology in the classroom to engage students in creating and collaborating and giving teachers the ability to use authentic assessment. Teacher comments and ideas are always welcomed. By no means am I an expert on the subject.
