With the inclusion of programs such as Google Earth, Marble, and NASAs World
Win, there has never been a more abundant source of interactive maps that
cover the entire world. By using one of these sources, students will be able to
use specific areas, landmarks, features, and regions to learn or get a better
understanding of what we are discussing in class. Google has a website
dedicated to the possibilities of having Google Earth specifically in a teachers
set of classroom tools.
https://www.google.com/help/maps/education/
different types of assignments available for the teacher to choose from can
range from a word document that can be typed up and submitted electronically
or a virtual alternative for online assignments such as scavenger hunts, quizzes,
or group work. This website offers up a few alternative teachers can use to teach
other than paper methods.

In geography, identifying
countries is very important and
most of those countries have a
distinguishing landmark that
helps identify that specific
country from the others such as
the Eiffel Tower in France or the
Statue of Liberty in the USA, the
students will use online
resources to collect data on
landmarks and which countries
they identify.
Geography can use different
cultures in identifying certain
regions or countries. Whether it
be traditions or language.
Students can use their online
resources to find out important
cultural differences between
countries that helps them
differentiate that specific
country from others.
