From voyages to video games to simple measuring tools, the web variation of
Google Earth has a great deal of cool features that can help trainees learn more about the world. One of those neat features is the “Im Feeling Lucky” button that is discovered on the left hand toolbar in Google Earth.

On its own the “Im Feeling Lucky” button offers an excellent method for students to find new places. That said, students learn more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you provide a little more direction than simply “click the button and take a look around.” Thats why I developed a little question sheet to prompt students to do a little research about the locations they find in Google Earth via “Im Feeling Lucky.” My question sheet can be discovered here as a Google Doc..
This brief video shows how trainees can check out Google Earth in more information after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
