I’m Feeling Lucky – A Google Earth Lesson

On its own the “Im Feeling Lucky” button provides an excellent way for students to find new places. That said, students discover more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you offer them a bit more instructions than just “click the button and look around.” Thats why I developed a little question sheet to trigger students to do a little research study about the locations they find in Google Earth by means of “Im Feeling Lucky.” My question sheet can be discovered here as a Google Doc..
This brief video demonstrates how students can check out Google Earth in more information after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
