Teaching Math with Google Earth
Hello Everyone,
I'm sorry I haven't been participating in all of your discussions but I've been pretty busy working on my own contribution to the world of Instructional Technology.
I would like to announce the launching of my new online resource for math teachers. Real World Math – Using Google Earth in the Math Curriculum provides lessons, activities, and new ideas that bring math instruction into this millennium. Intended for grades 5 and up, this material offers an Instructional Technology approach to learning. Google’s free 3D world of satellite imagery is used in active learning exercises designed to stimulate math students' higher-level thinking skills.
There are currently 20 lessons on the site and more to come with your help. Educators are encouraged to participate on the Community page by offering advice, feedback, or by submitting Google Earth lessons themselves. Please visit the site @ realworldmath.org and have a look. Help spread the word by recommending the site to others!
This is my first effort at something like this. I hope I've created something that teachers will use and students can learn by. I welcome any advice on just how to get something like this going. Perhaps there are some considerations I haven't thought of?
Let me know what you think, tom
