Exploring The World with Google Earth and Google Arts & Culture
Most students enjoy the opportunity to explore new places, gaze upon new images and artefacts, and learn about different people, places, and things.
It is hard to bring our classrooms to the world, but bringing the world to our classrooms is something that has never been easier and more interactive.
Most students enjoy the opportunity to explore new places, gaze upon new images and artefacts, and learn about different people, places, and things.
The question we are going to explore today is how can we use Google Arts & Culture and Google Earth to generate a sense of adventure and discovery when faced with the same four walls each and every day?
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
Benjamin Franklin
1. Google Arts and Culture
2. Google Earth

Google Arts & Culture and Google Earth are two powerful and sometimes underutilized resources available to all educators, at all grade levels, and in all subject areas.
