Technology+Integration+with+Google+Earth

Presenter: ** Charles Vergara, ** Technology Integrator School: [|Ethical Culture Fieldston, Lower School]


 * Description:** Google Earth is unique in the way it supports a vast amount of information in a visual, accessible and concrete format. I will present three examples of how Google Earth can be integrated into social studies, science and geography curriculum. For first grade, I will talk about using Google Earth and video footage to explore the geography of NYC. For third grade, I will show how Google Earth was instrumental in getting students to generate observations and inferences for science class. Finally, we will look at how fifth graders used the program to prepare for a geography exam and explore Viking trade routes.
