Google Earth and Google Maps are used to show students many different structures in the world. I believe that these types of ICTs are helpful not only for science or sose where students are looking at earthly structures but also for subjects like Japanese that require students to learn about a different country.
Students could spend time using these ICT programs to research about the country and it's structures and monuments. This would be helpful for them to understand using not only descriptions but real pictures.
Naomi,
ReplyDeleteI was aware Google Earth promoted multidisciplinary teaching and learning across various key learning areas such as; SOSE, Mathematics and English. Thank you for pointing out that students can also benefit from Google Earth involving other KLAs such as LOTE and Science. Isn't Google earth a great digital tool for students to learn about other areas of the world?
Hi Kym,
ReplyDeleteYes Google Earth is a great digital tool that has many uses for many different areas in education, as well as in real life situations. I believe that tools such as Google Earth or Google Maps not only allow students to explore different structures but also to relate things to real life and the real world.
