One of my goals for the workshop is to help individuals develop ideas for utilizing Google Earth and Google Maps for more than just location and history lessons. To that end Ive put together a brief list of ideas and resources for using Google Earth and Google Maps in numerous subject areas.
In Google Earth and on Googles My Maps services your trainees can develop their own tours highlighting essential places in a book or crucial places in the life of an author.
ArtBy utilizing Googles My Maps tools or the desktop variation of Google Earth, trainees can map the places of where a piece of regional art is housed, where it was produced, and the places that inspired the artist.

Later today Im carrying out an online expert development workshop about Google Earth and Maps. Among my goals for the workshop is to assist participants establish ideas for utilizing Google Earth and Google Maps for more than just location and history lessons. To that end Ive put together a list of concepts and resources for using Google Earth and Google Maps in multiple disciplines.
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 tours based on books and authors. In Google Earth and on Googles My Maps services your trainees can create their own trips highlighting essential places in a book or essential places in the life of an author.
ScienceGoogle Earth offers a terrific method for trainees to check out interesting geological landmarks in 3D. Utilizing the timeslider in the desktop version of Google Earth can reveal trainees the changes in a landscape due to erosion and other natural and man-made forces.
There is no lack of lesson strategies including Google Earth available online. A couple that I advise 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 classrooms there is most likely no much better location to start than on Tom Barretts Maths Maps website. There you will discover short, Google Maps-based activities that need students to utilize and carry out measurements math to answer concerns. The activities represent a terrific mix of mathematics and geography.
You will want to explore Real World Math if you have middle school or high school trainees. On Real World Math you will find lesson strategies that utilize Google Earth for teaching the concepts utilized in calculating volume of solids, timezones, and rocketry..
Physical EducationPerhaps my favorite use of Googles My Maps is for planning safe walking, treking, and biking paths. You can also use Google Earth to help students understand how elevation modification alters the speed at which paths are finished.
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. Each placemark on a students map could include an image of the art work, a photo of the artist, and or a video about the art and artist. To provide a complete picture a student can include text and links to more details about the art and artist.
