From voyages to games to easy measuring tools, the web version of
Google Earth has a great deal of neat functions that can assist trainees discover the world. Among those neat features is the “Im Feeling Lucky” button that is found on the left hand toolbar in Google Earth. Clicking that button will take students to a randomly-selected place in the world..

On its own the “Im Feeling Lucky” button supplies an excellent way for students to find brand-new locations. That said, students learn more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you give them a little bit more instructions than just “click the button and browse.” Thats why I created a little question sheet to trigger students to do a little research study about the locations they discover in Google Earth through “Im Feeling Lucky.” My concern sheet can be discovered here as a Google Doc..
This short video shows how students can explore Google Earth in more information after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
