By itself the “Im Feeling Lucky” button offers a great way for trainees to find new locations. That said, trainees discover more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you offer them a little bit more direction than just “click the button and look around.” Thats why I produced a little question sheet to prompt students to do a little research study about the places they find in Google Earth by means of “Im Feeling Lucky.” My question sheet can be found here as a Google Doc..
This short video shows how trainees can check out Google Earth in more information after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.

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