To read more about utilizing Google Earth in your class, take a look at my Crash Course in Google Earth & & Maps for Social Studies.

From voyages to video games to simple measuring tools, the web version of
Google Earth has a lot of neat features that can help trainees find out about the world. One of those neat functions 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..

On its own the “Im Feeling Lucky” button supplies an excellent way for trainees to discover new locations. That said, trainees find out more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you provide them a bit more direction than simply “click the button and take a look around.” Thats why I created a little concern sheet to prompt trainees to do a little research about the locations they find in Google Earth via “Im Feeling Lucky.” My question sheet can be discovered here as a Google Doc..
This brief video shows how trainees can check out Google Earth in more detail after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
