But how? 
We used iPad to video the presentation.  Please note that the audio on the video is embedded in the Google Tour.

Plus ensure it is resulting in higher level thinking skills and authentic learning processes. The presentation of this would assist in the sweet spot.]]> 2016-07-13 00:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116308311 kwalton https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116308315 Where does the Google Earth Tour belong? Does it mean more to be able to share it with the world beyond Google Earth? ]]> 2016-07-13 00:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116308315 kwalton https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116308316 Both Google Earth Tours share content in a very student directed way and allows for DI for all students. This Google Earth Tour could be used to communicate self-selected information share how the student wishes to present to the world. Our presentation was limited to what could be shared presented. Using Google Earth makes the content easily accessible. The unique content would allow for purposeful content that would assist in deeper understanding in student learning. ]]> 2016-07-13 00:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116308316 kwalton https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116312380 2016-07-13 01:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116312380 kwalton https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116312687 This tool could be used for so many subject areas to gain deeper understanding and encourage higher critical thinking skills. It helps them understand the world around them. The technology is engaging during the process and during the presentation of the content. ]]> 2016-07-13 01:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116312687 kwalton https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116314900 Does using Google Earth Tours help students gain a deeper understanding? Is it easily accessible? Does it create authentic learning experiences?  Can it be used as a digital storytelling too? YES

This statement is so powerful. But where I found the technology limiting when we were ready to share the presentation. However, we solved this issue  in two ways. So we could post it to any social media we wish. YEAH!]]> 2016-07-13 02:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116315930 kwalton https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116316651 Any other ideas?]]> 2016-07-13 02:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116316651 kwalton https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116380035 I would use Google Earth Tours in partners with junior students in a the areas of media, math, social studies, science and writing, in a project base learning style that would have a constructiveness style. Another example for using Google Earth Tours could be use it for The Series Seven, by Eric Walters, a novel study unit I taught with my grade 7 class. I would see the connections between the curriculum with learning about the globe, mapping the landscape, weather, and more. With the math you could track the distance and time it takes to travel on a journey once  the students have finished their tour. You could model one and the class collaborate on a tour to figure out the math later. It would be good to layer the cultural aspects of the places visited on the tour. You could have others do the tour at a different time or during the war. There are so many possibilities that the students should be given some voice in what they want to do and how they share the learning with the class. Using Google Earth Tours as a digital story telling  tool is above the line in the SAMAR, is going to overlap hitting the sweet spot in  the TPACK and definitely makes the teacher, Re-Think what we learn, How we learn, and with WHO." said perfectly by Mitchel Resnick. This is why I really wanted to be able to easily share the Google Earth Tour to social media like Twitter and a class Blog!!! That was important to me to be able to use the tool the way I felt it needs to be shared with the Global community. ]]> 2016-07-14 02:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116380035 kwalton https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116530043 Using my Google Earth Tour to generate math questions as a real authentic learning task. I could show this Google Earth tour and ask them to pick where they wish to go with a partner. Then let the calculations begin! Distance, the time to get there by plane, cost and more. They could generate their own tour for a real purpose. Like to visit family or to go on a trip. Think of the math this uncovers!!! Yet engaging and using the tech for a purpose. I would model this using my Google Earth then it depends on the students would they create their own in partners, or independently. This would depend on many factors of the specific make up of the students that year. ]]> 2016-07-18 02:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kwalton/7gp95x7qk1q8/wish/116530043
