I’m Feeling Lucky – A Google Earth Lesson

From trips to video games to basic measuring tools, the web version of
Google Earth has a great deal of neat functions that can help students find out about the world. Among 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 students to a randomly-selected location worldwide..

For more information about using Google Earth in your class, take an appearance at my Crash Course in Google Earth & & Maps for Social Studies.

By itself the “Im Feeling Lucky” button supplies an excellent way for students to discover new locations. That said, trainees discover more through the “Im Feeling Lucky” button if you provide a little more direction than just “click the button and browse.” Thats why I produced a little concern sheet to prompt trainees to do a little research about the places they discover in Google Earth via “Im Feeling Lucky.” My concern sheet can be discovered here as a Google Doc..
This short video demonstrates how trainees can check out Google Earth in more information after clicking “Im Feeling Lucky.”.
