I’m Feeling Lucky – A Google Earth Lesson

On its own the “Im Feeling Lucky” button offers a great way for trainees to discover new places. That said, trainees find out 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 produced a little question sheet to trigger students to do a little research about the places they find in Google Earth via “Im Feeling Lucky.” My question sheet can be found here as a Google Doc..
