New to using Google Earth with Shared Projects

[Jason Teves]

As my district shifts to Distance Learning, I am excited to incorporate the use of Google Earth Projects into may class as an activity rather than as instructional tool.

Hey Jason,

What kind of projects are you planning?

Cheers

Here is the assignment we will be doing as a welcome back activity next week.  We are collecting historical locations in a Google Earth Project. 

 

Google Earth Projects are a way to share information on a map with other Google Users.  We will be using Google Earth Projects to create a shared map of important historical places. 

 

Step 1:  Open Google Earth in Chrome (if you are using an Apple device you can use Safari but it may be less compatible)  http://www.google.com/earth

Step 2: Select a location that is important for the history we are studying this year.  The example I selected was the Heian era palace Byodoin known as Phoenix Hall.  There is a picture of it in our textbook.

Step 3: Select the Medieval and Early Modern Places Project link in the assignment. {Link removed}

Step 4:  Click the new feature button. Search to Add Place.

Step 5: Click Add to Project

Step 6: Click Edit Place

Step 7: Replace the info from Google with your own description

Include the following: 

1) The date of construction or when it became important

2) The time period it is associated with

3) 2 important aspects about the place that relate to things we have studied in our class

4) 3 Photos (using the Google Image Search function is fine)

5) Change the Icon

Step 8:  Visit 10 places shared by your classmates
