Dear all,
We were using PowerPoint or Concept map (or whatever tools available) to create life map last year. Participants need to map locations in which they had significant experiences and share with others. This year I found Google Earth is a great mapping tool we can use for this activity because:
1. It's free
2. It's easy to use
3. There are lots of possibilites to use it in the classroom across disciplines (example: http://edweb.tusd.k12.az.us/dherring/ge/googleearth.htm)
Can you suggest some questions we can have our students to practice Google Earth and share with other groups of participants? I'm thinking maybe:
1. The most memorable travel experiences you had in a city or in a country
2. Which city were you born? What is the most serious educational problem (or global issue) it is facing now?
Thanks for your input!!

I think this is good idead for using google earth. Since most of teachers in Taiwan have not using it in class, it is a good start.
This is the first warm-up acitvity. I suggest that 2-3 questions are enough for our group.
Thanks.
