This week we used Google Earth in several assignments.
1. National Parks powerpoint. I tried to narrate some of this but the audio did not come through so instead I just added music. Hope you enjoy learning about some of my favorite National Parks.
2. Google Earth Tour - In Anticipation of Summer 2014.
Again I tried to add audio but again it eluded me. You will have to download this and view it on Google Earth.
3. From Birth to Kalispell. This picture is suppose to show my birthplace to my current home. I wasn't actually born in Sacramento, CA but my family moved there shortly after my birth. The red lines show the few side trips I made. I lived near San Jose and then in Hawthorne, Nevada. I also lived in a few towns in Oregon - all along Interstate 5 and then finally made it to Kalispell where I have lived for the past 25 years.
4. Pythagorean Triples and Google Earth Activity
Pythagorean triples are whole numbers which satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. In this activity, students use Google Earth to find three places that appear to form a right triangle. For the complete instructions see "Awesome Links" on the right.
Hi
ReplyDeleteThe google earth you tube video on national parks was what I liked the best about this post. You talked about the 1st, 2nd, etc, and the best park on earth. Really good information.
ReplyDeleteThe pythagorean triples and incorporating Google earth was great because the teacher is incorporating geometry with places on google earth. So many things to use in the classroom. Great information.
