Thing#7

The Google resources that I preferred to work with are Google Earth and Google Scholar. The earth tool has so much potential --just allowing students to make "real time" observations on current events, see 3-D maps of certain areas of study, and become more aware of non-profit and public benefit organizations that are working for special causes around the world. In World Cultures we study the cause and effect of global issues and this tool along with the Google Scholar will be most helpful getting the point across! The Google Scholar tool will enable students to perform and retrieve searches for written materials that can help round out our study of the various cultures and landforms in our curriculum. http://earth.google.com/outreach/index.html
