One of my objectives for the workshop is to help participants establish concepts for using Google Earth and Google Maps for more than simply location and history lessons. To that end Ive put together a brief list of concepts and resources for utilizing Google Earth and Google Maps in multiple subject locations.
In Google Earth and on Googles My Maps services your students can develop their own tours highlighting crucial places in a book or essential locations in the life of an author.
ArtBy utilizing Googles My Maps tools or the desktop version of Google Earth, trainees can map the places of where a piece of local art is housed, where it was created, and the places that inspired the artist.

Later on this week Im performing an online expert development workshop about Google Earth and Maps. Among my objectives for the workshop is to assist participants develop ideas for using Google Earth and Google Maps for more than just geography and history lessons. To that end Ive created a brief list of concepts and resources for utilizing Google Earth and Google Maps in numerous subject areas.
Language ArtsGoogle Lit Trips is probably the most popular example of utilizing Google Earth in the context of language arts. Google Lit Trips are Google Earth tours based upon books and authors. In Google Earth and on Googles My Maps services your trainees can create their own tours highlighting important locations in a book or crucial places in the life of an author.
ScienceGoogle Earth offers a fantastic method for trainees to explore intriguing geological landmarks in 3D. Utilizing the timeslider in the desktop variation of Google Earth can show students the changes in a landscape due to disintegration and other natural and man-made forces.
There is no lack of lesson plans including Google Earth readily available online. A couple that I advise looking at are Rich Treves flooding and volcano lessons and Whats a Watershed developed at the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College.
MathFor K-5 classrooms there is probably no much better location to begin than on Tom Barretts Maths Maps website. There you will discover short, Google Maps-based activities that require trainees to carry out measurements and use math to respond to concerns. The activities represent a fantastic combination of mathematics and geography.
You will desire to explore Real World Math if you have middle school or high school trainees. On Real World Math you will find lesson plans that utilize Google Earth for teaching the ideas utilized in determining volume of solids, timezones, and rocketry..
Physical EducationPerhaps my favorite use of Googles My Maps is for planning safe walking, treking, and cycling routes. You can likewise utilize Google Earth to help trainees comprehend how elevation modification modifies the speed at which routes are finished.
ArtBy utilizing Googles My Maps tools or the desktop variation of Google Earth, students can map the places of where a piece of local art is housed, where it was produced, and the locations that inspired the artist. Each placemark on a students map could include a photo of the artwork, an image of the artist, and or a video about the art and artist. To offer a complete image a trainee can consist of text and links to more details about the art and artist.
