Your Choice Google Earth Geography Lesson
I created this interactive lesson for third graders. They are to learn the location of the 7 continents, 4 oceans and the four major explorers of the 1500′s and 1600′s. Once they are done labeling continents and oceans, it will take a little Internet research to find information about the explorers (Columbus, Ponce de Leon, Newport and Cartier). They will provide four facts either by obtaining the information and typing it in the place-mark or they can embed a video to it as well to help explain the history or relevance of the explorer. I have created a sample with a few embedded videos to use as a guide.
