Google Earth Voyager Stories are such a powerful resource when working with students! The images and street view access are high quality and provide realistic access for all kids. Visit schools in India and Nepal to teach students the concepts of compare and contrast. Follow Lewis and Clark’s voyage to learn to closely read. Build and support perspective and a world view as you wander through various continents. We know that our kids need many options in how they demonstrate their learning. Use the Project tools to have students tell THEIR stories in Google Earth! In this session we will look at our journey to use this rich literary resource with our elementary and middle school kids.
Objectives:
By the end of this session educators will:
- Understand how Google Earth can provide opportunities for students to demonstrate learning by using the Project tool in Earth
- Discuss application of this resource in order to create classrooms that are equitable and focused on Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
