Abstract
Presentation Abstract: This presentation discusses the use of a relatively new software technology called Google Earth in both a freshman level seminar course and in an upper level seminar course. The software is described along with a brief history of its genesis. The software capabilities are briefly demonstrated and some simple classroom activities for educators are presented by way of introducing the software. The mission and format of the Stockton freshman and senior general studies seminars are then outlined and reasoning behind incorporating the software into the classroom are outlined. Some examples of student projects are presented and their pedagogical value discussed. Both intended and unintended effects of incorporating the software into the classroom are discussed which include: miniature web page creation using KML; introduction to simple geographical information system concepts; geographical awareness assessment and student-faculty relationship building. ... Technology: Google Earth: geographically referenced browser and KML document interpreter. ... Delivery Method: In class
