Math and Google Earth


There is a good tool for teachers to use and it is shown in the video using google earth to teach math concepts. I found this video from the blog where you can find free technology resources. Google Earth can be used to teach area and perimeter. Plus, the students will have fun finding different landmarks they can measure like the Pentagon or The Louvre. This technology is especially great for upper grade students.

  1. Alexis,
    I haven't checked it out yet, but I heard on NPR that there is now a Google Ocean. You might find that useful too.
