Google Earth in the Classroom [Sign Up]

Sept. 17th - 10 to 11am or
Sept. 29th - 1 to 2pm

The combination of detailed satellite imagery, data layers such as roads and political boundaries, and user generated content presents a “compelling opportunity for discovery and learning”.  In the classroom Google Earth can be used to mark points referenced in a novel, historical event, current world conflicts or countless other places. Students can create their own placemarks with text, images, and links, overlay historical maps, or simply explore the geography. Adding this visual component to place names adds context to the materials giving a clearer and more concrete picture of events and places.
