Overview

Learn to create virtual field trips for free. This guide and video will show you how to create virtual field trips in Google Earth by utilizing some of Google's FREE online services such as Blogger, Youtube, and Google Sketchup.

With the emergence of Web 2.0 applications and services, students are increasingly becoming more comfortable with online tools. This assumption allows instructors to harness the power of the Internet and the availability of free software for instructional purposes with minimal technical instruction. As instructors, you realize that you should engage students with different learning styles.

The idea of sitting students in a computer lab or at laptops in a classroom to perform a simulation on the computer is becoming an old idea. Real-life 21st century skills such as teamwork, presentational and critical thinking skills, are now in the forefront again. Experiential learning in conjunction with technology helps to facilitate these skills while addressing various learning styles.

This product includes:

  • Booklet with instructions on how to create a virtual field trip using FREE online services such as Google Earth™, Blogger™, YouTube™ and Google Sketchup.
  • To reinforce the ideas presented, a video that goes through what is covered in the booklet is also bundled with this package.
