We started a new project on Africa. The students randomly selected an African country and are using Google Earth to learn about it. They are using Microsoft PowerPoint to document what they are learning. They are using Google Earth to see:
They are learning the following PowerPoint skills:
- where their country is located in Africa
- learning what natural features it has (e.g. deserts, mountains, bodies of water, etc.)
- find today's temperature and make some observations
- look at photos and describe two locations (e.g. city, rural, desert, etc.)
They are learning the following PowerPoint skills:
- How to use a template
- How to add a new slide
- How to copy and paste a photo from Google Earth
- How to capture a screen shot of Google Earth using MWSnap and pasting it in PowerPoint
