Supporting the most effective use of technology in classrooms and schools
Part I - Make the real terrain of the earth an interactive tool. Embed it with videos, images, sounds, podcasts, and more! From Internet or hard drive files use fantastic trips through neighborhoods, history, science or literature that are waiting on the web for your class. Insert student images into the landscape. Attach media clips or use placemark from other schools. Learn to measure distances and tap longitude and latitude. Create shareable projects with GoogleEarth user communities. Unlock special layers that simply need to be turned on.. Make and save small files or videos of your projects, too! Cost of Google Earth: Free!
Part II - Beyond the basics. Go to the level past simple overlays and placemarks. Create floating graphics, embed live webcams from their locations around the world. Freshen up description boxes with pictures and paragraph breaks and other syntax support. Learn to create flying tours and historical routes with markers and media along the way. "Broadcast" rotating clips that change everyday on every school desktop! And learn why HTML really is your friend.
