For some inspiration on this topic take an appearance at Monet Was Here on Google Arts & & Culture.

Later on today Im conducting an online professional advancement workshop about Google Earth and Maps. One of my objectives for the workshop is to assist individuals establish ideas for using Google Earth and Google Maps for more than just geography and history lessons. To that end Ive put together a short list of ideas and resources for using Google Earth and Google Maps in numerous subject locations.
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 trips based on authors and books. In Google Earth and on Googles My Maps services your students can develop their own tours highlighting essential locations in a book or important locations in the life of an author.
ScienceGoogle Earth provides a great way for students to check out interesting geological landmarks in 3D. Using the timeslider in the desktop version of Google Earth can show students the changes in a landscape due to disintegration and other natural and manufactured forces.
There is no scarcity of lesson plans including Google Earth available online. A couple that I advise taking a look at are Rich Treves flooding and volcano lessons and Whats a Watershed created at the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College.
MathFor K-5 classrooms there is probably no much better place to start than on Tom Barretts Maths Maps site. There you will discover brief, Google Maps-based activities that require trainees to use and perform measurements arithmetic to respond to questions. The activities represent a fantastic mix of mathematics and location.
If you have intermediate school or high school trainees, you will wish to check out Real World Math. On Real World Math you will discover lesson strategies that use Google Earth for teaching the principles used in computing volume of solids, timezones, and rocketry..
Physical EducationPerhaps my favorite use of Googles My Maps is for preparing safe walking, treking, and cycling routes. You can also use Google Earth to assist trainees understand how elevation modification alters the speed at which routes are completed.
ArtBy using Googles My Maps tools or the desktop version of Google Earth, trainees can map the areas of where a piece of local art is housed, where it was created, and the places that inspired the artist. Each placemark on a students map could include an image of the artwork, an image of the artist, and or a video about the art and artist. To offer a total picture a student can include text and links to more details about the art and artist.
