I’m Feeling Lucky – A Google Earth Lesson

For more information about using Google Earth in your class, have a look at my Crash Course in Google Earth & & Maps for Social Studies.

From trips to games to simple measuring tools, the web variation of
Google Earth has a lot of neat features that can help trainees discover the world. One of those cool features is the “Im Feeling Lucky” button that is discovered on the left hand toolbar in Google Earth. Clicking that button will take trainees to a randomly-selected place on the planet..

By itself the “Im Feeling Lucky” button supplies a great way for trainees to discover brand-new places. That said, students discover more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you provide a little more instructions than just “click the button and take a look around.” Thats why I produced a little concern sheet to trigger trainees to do a little research 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 shows how trainees can explore Google Earth in more information after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
