5131fall2012 instructional geography history education

    Google Earth is an instructional tool that I use often as a social studies teacher.  However, it can be used across content areas.  For example, it can be used to highlight the geographic connections to the settings of novels, or to take students on virtual field trips to science museums.

    I love Google Earth. I think it's an updated version of some of the tools I used growing up. It can really give students that great virtual tour of the Earth that is irreplaceable unless they actually go there. I like your idea of using it in multiple content areas. It really has so many great opportunities for learning!

    I agree with you that this is a great tool that is something that can really enrich student learning. I can definitely see myself at most grade levels using this tool one way or another. I would be interested in experimenting more with the program and finding creative ways to implement it into lessons.

    I really enjoy using Google Earth in the classroom. The capabilities of Google Earth and Google Maps (especially with the most recent update) give my students a chance to see places they may never get to see in their lives. I think we are going to spend more time focusing on the use of Google Earth or Maps in my upcoming Global Studies classes.

    This amazing new tool (new to me at least) allows you to create a short story and set it to music using the Google Docs interface. When you are done it creates a short link to share out to all your family and friends. This has amazing implications in education and technology for use as a quick check for understanding, overview video, formative assignment, or quick creative writing assignments.

    This is a great new tool that I stumbled upon while doing some research for another project. It kind of brings together all the neat stuff Google is doing with Documents, collaboration, music, and short URLs.

    This looks like exactly what I would like to try with my students to get them doing some collaborative story writing! I would use this for creative story writing, research, and as a planning tool in 3rd grade.
  • Tyler Hellmann on 14 Nov 12
     
    This would be a cool idea in the classroom for sure!!!! Perhaps, they can collaborate and create their story before making a video or presentation - which could also be created collaboratively.

    A great source for collaborative tools for both teachers and students. One of the coolest parts of GFE is the lesson plan search!! Can easily search for what you're looking for in a lesson plan and come up with many ideas and outlines to get you started.

    Google in Education is a great resource for students and teachers. It provides authentic opportunities for students, tutorials, and lesson ideas for teachers.
  • Amber Sandoval on 13 Nov 12
     
    This resource would be great to use in my future classroom! I really like how it has classroom tools for teachers and students. I think this would be a great tool for educators to use and refer to. This bookmark could be used both by teachers and/or students. However, I think that educators would gain most from it. Teachers then could transfer knowledge of tools and applications to students in classroom content lessons. From my experiences, "Discovery Education" is somewhat similar in regards to having many resources available for students, administrators, and educators.

    Google for Educators is a very good tool for teachers to use, i liked the way it organized, it is easy to research and find what you want, classroom videos are awesome tools to use.

    Just FYI: sorry if this gets posted twice. I accidentally posted these far before the assignment was due, and wanted to ensure they are still visible on the group.

    Another presentation on how Google Apps can be utilized in the classroom.  I was looking for presentations to share with my staff, and found this one.  The resources and examples are plentiful.  This could also be used to share with students.

    This would be a great resource for teachers to use with students. So many possibilities! It would be a perfect fit when learning about landforms in social studies.

    Andi, Way cool site! I hadn't heard of this before. I can see where it would be of good use in the classroom. Lots of multimedia activity going on. Thanks for sharing.
  • Brian McGurk on 14 Nov 12
     
    Hello, Andi, and thanks for sharing. This is a great website, and I'm somewhat ashamed as a geography teacher that I didn't already know about it. I use Google Earth all of the time, and this website will supplement that well. I'll present this as well to our world history teachers in 6th grade as a potential resources as well. Thanks again.

    This web 2.0 tool has multiple possibilities. Here's just a couple I've thought of: 1) your students are doing a research project and 2) you want to connect with your students and/or students' parents. Easy, efficient, and technology based.

    Surveymonkey is a flexible, effective tool that can be used in a variety of settings. In addition to using it in the classroom and as a tool to reach out to parents, it could also be used administratively for research and strategic planning purposes.
  • Heather Klenke on 30 Oct 12
     
    Surveymonkey is flexible, and easy to use. Although when using it for a kiosk station you need to pay for a subscription fee but worth all the hassle. Another substitution is google forms too.

    We have used Surveymonkey here at school, easy to build and deploy. Great tool.

    "Blogs every teacher should read" is probably the best thing I have ever Googled. I found the website onlineschools.org and a page called "100 Blogs Every New Teacher Should Read." I can really see this being useful now and in the future!

    This website includes web resources, lesson plans, and units in a "user-friendly" way. Easy to figure out and search though, this site is clear and to the point with a lot of helpful resources.

    What a great resource! Sometimes I rely on googling too much and therefore tend to miss some of the best content available; such as this website. Thank you for sharing!

    This is YouTube's free video editing Web 2.0 program.  Students and teachers could use this to create and store online media for classes.  Many schools have Google accounts for their students that could be used to access the YouTube video editor as long as administrator provided the proper permissions.  This could also be a free alternative to programs districts must pay for like iMovie or WeVideo.

    I know someone else already posted this, but it was such a great find (and I did not know it existed!!) that I had to bookmark it for myself. I am posting this for totally selfish reasons, and not for use with my students exclusively. Although, I am sure I could use this editor to enhance instructional videos, or my students could use it to enhance videos they may create as projects. Currently, I'm excited to use it for myself, for current class projects. =X
