Google Earth has a lot of neat functions that can assist trainees find out about the world. One of 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 trainees to a randomly-selected location in the world..

By itself the “Im Feeling Lucky” button supplies a good method for students to find new locations. That stated, trainees learn more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you provide them a little bit more instructions than simply “click the button and browse.” Thats why I produced a little question sheet to trigger trainees to do a little research study about the locations they find in Google Earth by means of “Im Feeling Lucky.” My concern sheet can be found here as a Google Doc..
