Google Earth in Schools
All of us have use Google Earth at home, for fun or to find things, make maps, email directions, etc. But it’s an amazing educational tool with huge potential for learning in the subjects of history, geography, literature and science. And probably other subjects I haven’t even thought of.
Honestly, with the links I’m going to give you on this post, you could really come up with some interesting and fun class lessons for a long, long time. We live in a visual age. Students do better and understanding happens quicker with visuals. This isn’t news. So why not use the greatest tool there is for information on the globe, maps, the world and what’s on it…Google Earth?
The Google Earth Blog also posted a ton of links and information about the many and various uses for Google Earth in the education system. So now all you have to do is help get it out there in the schools! If you’re a student or a teacher or anyone who has the opportunity to help make this happen, do it.
Sure would beat a lot of the classes I had to endure when I was in school!
