In our last voice-thread it was encouraged to post a link to our best technology project of the semester. I like the post that I made on copyright laws because I think especially in history it is important to site ones work so that a reader can follow the source to see if the information is legitimate or not. However, if I were to pick my best project I would probably choose my Google Earth
activity. I think that it is simple but would be fun for students and can be a productive lesson.
This is pretty cool - my dad loves Geogaching and GPS, so he loves Google Earth. I just bought a new laptop and one of the first things he downloaded onto it was the Google Earth program. I know very briefly how to use it, but this lesson plan looks very engaging. Not only can you use it in history classes, but you would also be able to use it in Geography classes.
