Google Earth has a great deal of cool functions that can assist students discover the world. Among those neat features is the “Im Feeling Lucky” button that is discovered on the left hand toolbar in Google Earth.

That said, trainees find out more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you provide a bit more direction than just “click the button and look around.” Thats why I developed a little concern sheet to trigger trainees to do a little research study about the locations they find in Google Earth via “Im Feeling Lucky.” My question sheet can be found here as a Google Doc..
This short video demonstrates how students can check out Google Earth in more information after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
