Google Maps and Google Earth are fantastic tools that can be used in the classroom. Google Maps has evolved in the last few years and now allows users to see maps and areas in satellite imagery and even the view from the street in front of an address. This is a great advancement of technology as students are able to really see the world come to life from their classroom. Using these tools, students can look at towns in other countries and the land in other countries to really see what its like in those countries and towns. It allows students to realise that not all countries are like Australia. This is a fantastic tool to encourage students to look outside themselves and their own communities and into the world around them.
Great job on your E-Learning Journey so far Shannon!
