Google Earth / Maps



Google Earth and maps are a great way to engage your students in a classroom. From a teaching point of view in a history or geography class google earth / Maps becomes a great interactive feature and a source of information through a visual experience in the way you can engage your students in viewing a certain country, city or even a historical site like the great pyramids of Egypt. Plus through google earth you can expose your students to supported information on the site you have clicked on to back up the experience of that city or historical site you are currently viewing.

Google maps are a great source of information in regards to finding out locations and addresses of certain places. From a geography point of view in a classroom, you could use google maps to engage students to find different locations throughout the world the quickest or find directions to a location within a city to further facilitate their learning. Plus by using google maps you have the power to engage your students through a interactive application throughout your geography class at the click on button to different locations throughout the world you may be speaking about within the subject.
