Later today Im performing an online expert advancement workshop about Google Earth and Maps. One of my objectives for the workshop is to assist individuals develop ideas for using Google Earth and Google Maps for more than just geography and history lessons. To that end Ive put together a brief list of concepts and resources for using 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 tours based on books and authors. In Google Earth and on Googles My Maps services your students can produce their own trips highlighting crucial places in a book or important places in the life of an author.
ScienceGoogle Earth supplies a great method for trainees to check out interesting geological landmarks in 3D. Utilizing the timeslider in the desktop version of Google Earth can show trainees the changes in a landscape due to erosion and other natural and manufactured forces.
There is no lack of lesson plans featuring Google Earth readily available online. A couple that I advise taking a look 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 most likely no better location to start than on Tom Barretts Maths Maps site. There you will discover short, Google Maps-based activities that require students to carry out measurements and use arithmetic to answer concerns. The activities represent a terrific mix of mathematics and location.
If you have intermediate school or high school students, you will desire to check out Real World Math. On Real World Math you will discover lesson plans that make use of Google Earth for teaching the ideas utilized in computing volume of solids, timezones, and rocketry..
Physical EducationPerhaps my preferred usage of Googles My Maps is for preparing safe walking, hiking, and biking paths. You can likewise utilize Google Earth to help trainees understand how elevation modification modifies the speed at which routes are completed.
ArtBy using Googles My Maps tools or the desktop version of Google Earth, trainees can map the locations of where a piece of local art is housed, where it was produced, and the locations that influenced the artist. Each placemark on a students map might include an image of the art work, an image of the artist, and or a video about the art and artist.
