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

Later this week Im carrying out an online expert development workshop about Google Earth and Maps. Among my objectives for the workshop is to help individuals develop concepts for using Google Earth and Google Maps for more than simply geography and history lessons. To that end Ive put together a list of concepts and resources for utilizing Google Earth and Google Maps in several subject locations.
Language ArtsGoogle Lit Trips is most likely the most popular example of using Google Earth in the context of language arts. Google Lit Trips are Google Earth trips based upon books and authors. In Google Earth and on Googles My Maps services your trainees can develop their own tours highlighting crucial locations in a book or essential locations in the life of an author.
ScienceGoogle Earth supplies an excellent way for students to check out fascinating geological landmarks in 3D. Utilizing the timeslider in the desktop version of Google Earth can show trainees the modifications in a landscape due to disintegration and other natural and manufactured forces.
There is no lack of lesson strategies featuring Google Earth readily available online. A couple that I recommend looking at are Rich Treves flooding and volcano lessons and Whats a Watershed produced at the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College.
MathFor K-5 class there is probably no better location to begin than on Tom Barretts Maths Maps site. There you will find short, Google Maps-based activities that need trainees to perform measurements and use math to respond to questions. The activities represent a terrific mix of mathematics and geography.
If you have middle school or high school students, you will desire to explore Real World Math. On Real World Math you will find lesson strategies that use Google Earth for teaching the concepts used in determining volume of solids, timezones, and rocketry..
Physical EducationPerhaps my favorite usage of Googles My Maps is for planning safe walking, hiking, and biking paths. You can likewise use Google Earth to help trainees comprehend how elevation change modifies the speed at which paths are finished.
ArtBy using 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 locations that motivated the artist. Each placemark on a trainees map could consist of an image of the art work, a photo of the artist, and or a video about the art and artist. To provide a complete photo a student can consist of text and links to more information about the art and artist.

For some motivation on this topic have a look at Monet Was Here on Google Arts & & Culture.
