A Google Earth Lesson With the “I’m Feeling Lucky” Button


Since it’s Geography Awareness Week I believed I’d pull a lesson plan from my archives to share with you. 

From voyages to video games to easy measuring instruments, the online model of Google Earth has a whole lot of neat options that may assist college students be taught in regards to the world. One of these neat options is the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button that’s discovered on the left hand toolbar in Google Earth. Clicking that button will take college students to a randomly-selected place on the planet. 

On its personal the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button supplies a great way for college kids to find new locations. That mentioned, college students be taught extra via the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button  should you give them a little bit extra path than simply “click on the button and go searching.” That’s why I created a little bit query sheet to immediate college students to do some analysis in regards to the locations they uncover in Google Earth through “I’m Feeling Lucky.” My query sheet might be discovered right here as a Google Doc

This brief video demonstrates how college students can discover Google Earth in additional element after clicking “I’m Feeling Lucky.”
