From voyages to video games to basic measuring tools, the web variation of
Google Earth has a lot of cool functions that can help students 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. Clicking that button will take students to a randomly-selected location on the planet..

On its own the “Im Feeling Lucky” button offers an excellent way for students to find new places. That stated, trainees find out more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you give them a little more instructions than just “click the button and take a look around.” Thats why I produced 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 trainees can explore Google Earth in more detail after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
