  1. Danny Maas EmTech AISI Consultant Daniel.Maas@ecsd.net Using Google Earth in the Inclusive UDL Classroom:

  2. Alberta’s Classroom Populations are Diverse

  3. Underlying realities: • Alberta’s classroom populations are diverse • The printed page is dominant in classrooms • Inflexible print and narrowly defined goals present huge barriers to many students • When the barriers are removed, ALL students can learn and be striving towards the same high standards.

  4. Setting the Direction

  5. UDL Framework

  6. Rationale for Using Google Earth Universal Design for Learning • Presenting information and content in different ways (the "what" of learning) • Differentiating the ways that students can express what they know (the "how" of learning) • Stimulating interest and motivation for learning (the "why" of learning) • http://www.cast.org/research/faq/index.html#q1

  7. Rationale for Using Google Earth • Skill & Attitude Development • Visual literacy • Global awareness • Geographic thinking • Inquiry • http://www.cast.org/research/faq/index.html#q1

  8. 1. Fly Home • Enter your address including city and province • Click the search button • Use the mouse scroll wheel or navigation arrows to move around

  9. Turning on Information Layers • In the lower left, click in the boxes of the information layers you’d like to see • Recommended: • 3D Buildings • Street View • Roads • Check out GlobalAwareness & More

  10. Street View • Zoom in on a location with a camera icon and double-click it • Use your mouse to drag around your 360 degree view • Click the ‘Exit Photo’ button in the upper right to return to the standard view

  11. 3D Buildings • In Edmonton, move your location to the Alberta Legislature Building (or type “9718 107 street Edmonton AB”) • Zoom in closer using your mouse scroll wheel • Hold ‘Shift’+scroll wheel to move your view from overhead to a more horizontal view • Hold ‘Ctrl’+scroll to rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise

  12. Adding Placemarks • Along the top toolbar, the Placemarks button looks like a yellow pushpin • When Clicked, an untitled placemark will be placed onto the screen. • Drag the placemark to the location you want. • In the “New Placemark” window, add a name. • Optionally, add a description or change the style & color. • Clicking on the yellow pin icon can change the image represented

  13. Final Discussion • How can Google Earth provide students with: • Multiple means of representation? • Multiple means of expression? • Multiple means of engagement? UDL

  14. Next Sessions • Specific examples of Google Earth activities across subject areas • More skill work • Time to explore sites which have Google Earth activities or files
