Google Earth in Every Grade: Create and Explore!

When Google Earth first dropped people wanted to check out the street view of their own homes. Then the rabbit trail of looking at your best friend’s house and the Taj Mahal and the trail could go on for hours. However, Google Earth has some very real power in the classroom which Tammy Lind helps to uncover in this episode. 


Every Grade, Every Subject

Teachers might think Google Earth is best in a History or Science classroom, but the reality is that this tool can be used across several disciplines and grade levels. One of the best-kept secrets in Google Earth is the Voyager story feature. To find it, click on the ship’s wheel in the left menu. This will open another menu that includes: Nature, Games, Layers, Street View, Culture, Travel, and Education. 

Google Earth in Every Grade: Create and Explore! - SULS0113

Teachers may be tempted to go directly to the Education section, which has fantastic curriculum-specific images and information, however, the other choices can be just as valuable. For example, in the Nature topic, a classroom can access several live cams from the African safari. Tammy shared this with a class of first-graders who were in utter excitement at the sights and sounds of the animals who passed by the cameras.

Under the Game’s topic, you will find several quizzes. These aren’t your average multiple-choice question quizzes. The quiz topics span a multitude of topics and provide quality information on the topic along with an image that zooms into that part of the world. Kids could learn something from taking a test rather than sharing what they already knew. 

Google Earth in Every Grade: Create and Explore! - SULS0113

The Layers tab shows images in a timelapse. Kids can see exactly how the glaciers are melting or the destruction caused by a natural disaster. The value in making comparisons and contrasts based on time leads to rich discussions and great critical thinking. 

When students read about foreign places, whether that’s the Boston Harbor or the beach at Normandy, Google Earth street view can take them there for a true visual. When it’s not possible to physically be there Google Earth makes it possible to see. 


Choosing the Culture topic is a fantastic place to find quality information and images on several interesting cultural topics. The choices given under this tab would be a great place for students to explore when needing inspiration for a research topic. It also makes a great jumping-off point for gathering valuable information. 

https://i.gyazo.com/e480eee558fef9d3f006f66be7c8ffa1.gif

The Travel topic is another great place to spark inspiration. Google has shared many popular sites, but also several nooks and crannies some may be excited to discover. Of course, the scenery is not the only reason to visit a location, some stories focus on amazing artwork around the world, epic summer festivals, super surf spots, and so many more.

Of course, the Education topic will provide every teacher with a curriculum-related option. From triangular structures and the geometry of castles to reading the ABCs from space or fairy tales from around the world. Learning through text and images increases the staying power of that knowledge. 


Google Earth Projects

Google Earth is a powerful tool to learn from, but it also has built-in features for students to create their own projects and show off their new knowledge. Using the Projects feature students can create or view other saved projects. 

Google Earth in Every Grade: Create and Explore! - SULS0113

Tammy shares how she created a scuba diving project using her underwater images. Students can collaborate on these projects or work individually. They can choose to use personal photos, a great project for a photography class, or pull places directly from Google Earth. Everything students create in a project is saved directly into their Google Drive making it simple to share for collaboration purposes. 

Tammy explains how she walks students through the process of finding, evaluating, creating, and communicating when strategically using Google Earth as a teaching tool. The built-in features make this tool perfect for hitting all of the four C’s in the Dynamic Learning framework. 

How to Get Started

When you’re looking at the globe there is a lot to see. It can be incredibly overwhelming and provides a lot of clickbait. Tammy suggests that the first time you introduce this tool to students just let them play. Everyone likes to search for their own home. There is also a feature called I’m Feeling Lucky. It’s the image of the 5 on a dice. This will choose a place to explore at random. 

Another great place to direct students to for playtime is the Voyager story feature. Sparks of creativity and inspiration are bound to start swirling around the classroom.

The New Google Earth is a fantastic way to flatten the walls of your classroom and explore the world with your students.

Flatten the Walls of Your Classroom with the New Google Earth

Did you know that Google Earth has been around for more than 17 years? That just seems crazy. The first time I saw it, it totally blew my mind. And I did what almost everyone did the first time you look at Google Earth; I went searching for my house!

With Google Earth at our fingertips, we can take our students on a journey across the globe, and do it with satellite precision.

In 2017, Google Earth took a big leap forward with the NEW Google Earth, a completely web-based, high-definition experience. We no longer need special plugins or file types to experience the wonder of this great big home we call Earth!

So if you haven’t experienced the NEW Google Earth, now is the time to take a deep dive and look for connections to your classroom. No matter what you teach, I believe you can find applications for every grade level and subject area.

[Tweet “Flatten the Walls of Your Classroom with the New #GoogleEarth #edtech”]

To experience the NEW Google Earth for yourself, go to www.google.com/earth, and take a moment to click around, zoom in, zoom out, search, and go find your house. You know you’re dying to!

Here’s a screenshot of my neck of the woods, Dallas, Texas. (Tip: To go into 3D mode (where available), hold the shift key as you move your mouse.) Notice the menu options on the left.

3. Voyager: Voyager will help you discover collections, interactive stories, and special topics. There’s even an education section!

4. I’m Feeling Lucky: Roll the dice and randomly discover someplace new!

5. Bookmarks: Anywhere you see the bookmark icon, you can click to add to “your places,” and access right here in the menu.

6. Share: Grab a link to the location, share on social media, or even share to Google Classroom and add to an assignment.

7. Measuring Tool: Select a starting point and end point to measure the distance.

 


Key features of the NEW Google Earth:

  • 3D Views of major cities
  • Look at places in history, in literature, in the news, in popular culture.

10 Amazing Google Geo Tools for Your ClassroomExploration = Education, my new motto

This is a guest post by Google Certified Trainer and Innovator, Stacy Behmer.

I had the privilege of attending the Google Geo Institute (#CAGTI17) with approximately 90 other educators from around the world last week to learn more about Google’s Geo Tools! I loved using maps with my students and used Google Earth, but my head was spinning with all of the ideas about how we can use the geo tools to help students learn about new places, solve problems, and tell stories!

We may not be able to physically go everywhere, but virtually the possibilities are limitless.

10 Amazing Google Geo Tools for Your Classroom

After thumbing through all my links and docs, here are 10 of my many takeaways!

1. New Google Earth

“Everything is something and everything has a place somewhere.” John Bailey, Google Geo Education Team. Google Earth is now web based and you can use Pegman and Street View within Google Earth, but you can go places that are off the beaten path and may not be on a street, like these monkeys in the see Street View of Himalayas. These 360 images can easily be embedded into a website or project students are creating.


2. Voyager

A new addition to Google Earth is the Voyager Experience! Go to Voyager and select the education tab. Google partnered with National Geographic and other organizations to build content and tell stories from around the world.

10 Amazing Google Geo Tools for Your Classroom


3. My Maps

There is a power in students creating their own maps to help them visualize information or to tell a story an example of this is two students who collected the Oral Histories of Route 66 and displayed it on a Map. My Maps is can be used for students as they explore events in literature, historical events or even as they study current events. The beauty of My Maps is they are collaborative and can be exported to be brought in as a layer of Google Earth. Kim Randall, @scubagirl812 did a super session on Mapping Made Easy with Google My Maps!

10 Amazing Google Geo Tools for Your Classroom


4. Tour Builder

This is another way for students to tell a story using a map! Drop pins, add images, video or text to share your virtual tour. Once a tour is created it can be shared to the gallery or exported as a KML file and added as a layer to Google Earth. Unfortunately, this doesn’t have the same collaborative features My Maps does, but the visual display and easy organization is really nice!

10 Amazing Google Geo Tools for Your Classroom


5. Google Earth Engine

There are a lot of data sets out there and Google Earth Engine enables you to track, measure and visualize changes over time. You can look at water patterns and how the Earth’s surface has changed over time. Use the Time Lapse link to see how development is changing the landscape of your community. Being able to visualize the data and changes helps to have meaningful conversations with students.

6. Youvisit

Telling your story doesn’t always have to be linear! Thank you to Brooke Whitlow, @BWhitlowEdTech, for sharing Youvisit.com! This site lets you easily create an interactive virtual tour. You can capture your image via any 360 camera app or simply with a Theta 360 Camera (I have the Theta S) and then build your tour with hotspots to add information or highlight key features. Check out the tour that was shared with us by James Allen of the Eminence EDhub. My head is spinning with ideas about how students could not only create a virtual tour of their school but what about helping tell the story of their community and embedding historical events or what their community is known for?


7. Wikitude

Using Geo Tools to create Location Based AR- This is what excited me the most! Think, make your very own Pokemon Go! Big thanks to Micah Shippee, @micahshippee, for sharing how to use Wikitude to upload your MyMap pins to create your placemarks to get started, but if you want to have more than just text you need to create your placemarks using getech.com and then export them into Wikitude and use the Wikitude app on your mobile device. If you want to learn how to create your own here is Micah’s presentation. Below is a screenshot of my first location based AR using My Maps and Wikitude on the Google Campus!

10 Amazing Google Geo Tools for Your Classroom

 


8. Metaverse AR

I love the idea of location based AR and having students move around and create it. Jeff Crews, @crewsertech, for showing a few of us Metaverse. This lets you build an series of interactive experiences and turn them into quests, so you can have a scene pop up on your phone when you are in the right location and answer a question or get a clue to move you onto the next location on the map! Building it on the web is slick with a series of drop downs and then you run the app and the icon will show up on your phone or tablet when you start the app! I’m already starting to work on building a quest for around our agency for new staff as part of our orientation Breakout EDU!

10 Google Geo Tools for the Classroom

The view from my phone with a question that appears.


9. Theta 360 & Street View

Props to Dean Phillips, @DeanPhillipsMT, for giving me a crash course of his Doing More with 360 session and walking me through how to use the Theta S to add to Google Street View. You can use the camera app within Street View or just connect the Theta to capture a 360 image in one click. The nice thing is you can publish your images for others to see and even stitch them together. Donnie Piercey, @mrpiercey, put together a really nice resource to help folks create their own Street View.


10. Google Expeditions

There were a couple of updates to Expeditions while we were in Mountain View, one is the first-person play experience, so students can go through an Expedition independently and see facts pop up for them or listen to information too. The other update is the ability for the guide device to add annotations on the 360 image!

There is also a Moonshot Incubator Project that takes Google Expeditions in Hawaii to another level with lesson plans and images to learn all about our 50th state.

Check out the Google Carboard and Expeditions Ultimate Resource Guide.

It was exciting to hear that the mission of Google Earth is what we do in our classrooms: “Explore everywhere. Learn about anywhere. Create experiences. Share stories.” These tools not only provide our students with opportunities to explore the world, but they are also able to capture their own images and share their stories with others! A huge shout out to John Bailey, Emily Henderson, @earthoutreach, and the amazing team of guides who facilitated the three days of learning!


Stacy Behmer

Stacy is a former elementary and middle school teacher and also spent some time as a district technology director. She is currently the Coordinator of Digital Learning from Grant Wood AEA in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she works with a team of technology consultants providing technology integration support and training to teachers and administrators. Stacy serves on the Iowa Technology Education Connection board which holds a couple of conferences and a series of workshops across the state promoting technology rich learning environments.

The Golden Treasures of Google - Part 1! The Fabulous Tools You Don't Know About! | www.shakeuplearning.com | #googleedu #edtech #gafe #gafechatMost of us know of the Googley Goodness of Google Drive and related apps for education, but did you know there is much, much more that Google offers for FREE! There are so many hidden gems for teachers and students.

This blog series will explore the lesser-known Google tools. (It wouldn’t all fit in one post, and I find something new and interesting all the time!) Some of theses tools are made by Google, Inc., and some are made possible with Google tools. Either way, fasten your seatbelt and get ready to get your Google on!

This post will focus on tools that utilize Google Maps, Street View and Google Earth.


Create and share custom Google Maps!

My Maps (formerly Maps Engine Lite)


 

In the Classroom:

  • Create interactive lesson journeys
  • Visit historical landmarks
  • Travel through a Novel or Story
  • Create an Amazing Race adventure!

My Maps Cheat Sheet (by Jennifer Judkins)

Smarty PinsSmarty Pins is a Google Maps based geography and trivia game. Google generates a random trivia question about a specific city or country, and you must drop  a pin on the correct location on the map. Players can choose from six trivia categories: Featured Topics, Arts & Culture, Science & Geography, Sports & Games, Entertainment, History & Current Events.

Although you cannot choose the location for your students, this is still a fun way to introduce some geography to your students.

Geo Guesser

Game using Google Maps StreetView that drops the player in a random location and challenges them to find out where they are. You cannot choose an exact location, you can choose from collections of cities, countries and continents. Perfect for a little social studies virtual excursion!

From the Google Lit Trips website, “Google Lit Trips are free downloadable files that mark the journeys of characters from famous literature on the surface of Google Earth. At each location along the journey there are placemarks with pop-up windows containing a variety of resources including relevant media, thought provoking discussion starters, and links to supplementary information about “real world” references made in that particular portion of the story.”

As a former ELAR teacher, I LOVE this! What a fun way to explore and integrate Google Earth in the classroom!

Create and Tell Stories through Google Earth!

  • View Gallery of Stories
  • Create Your Own Tours
  • Great for Student Projects
  • Note: Only works in 32-bit browsers (use Firefox or Safari)– I know! Hard to believe!
  • Must have the Google Earth plug-in
