  2. Agenda • Who are you? • Unpack the standards • View samples of Webquests • Explore Google Earth and Maps 101 • Lunch • Design a Webquest • Incorporate Google Earth and Maps 101 • Share with partners

  3. How can I enhance curriculum standards? • Webquests • Google Earth • Maps 101

  4. Are You Paying Attention? • Movie

  5. Unpacking the Standards Science Standard 5-3: • The student will demonstrate an understanding of features, processes, and changes in Earth's land and oceans. (Earth Science)Indicators: • 5-3.1 Explain how natural processes (including weathering, erosion, deposition, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods) affect Earth's oceans and land in constructive and destructive ways. • 5-3.2 Illustrate the geologic landforms of the ocean floor (including the continental shelf and slope, the mid-ocean ridge, rift zone, trench, and the ocean basin). • 5-3.3 Compare continental and oceanic landforms. • 5-3.4 Explain how waves, currents, tides, and storms affect the geologic features of the ocean shore zone (including beaches, barrier islands, estuaries, and inlets). • 5-3.5 Compare the movement of water by waves, currents, and tides. • 5-3.6 Explain how human activity (including conservation efforts and pollution) has affected the land and the oceans of Earth.

  6. Plan for Each Indicator • 5-3.1 Explain how natural processes (including weathering, erosion, deposition, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods) affect Earth's oceans and land in constructive and destructive ways.

  7. What is essential? • Earth’s oceans and lands can be affected in constructive and destructive ways by natural processes.

  8. Non-Essential • It is a waste of time teaching non-essential material. • No need to know: movement of Earth’s plates, how volcanoes, mountains and earthquakes are produced.

  9. What lessons do I plan for each vocabulary word? • Weathering • Erosion • Deposition • Landslide • Volcanic Eruptions • Earthquakes • Floods

  10. Assessment Guidelines • Construct a cause and effect model of the various ways that the ocean and land is affected by the process of …… • Recall process, compare constructive and destructive processes, illustrate changes that take place, classify the processes, or exemplify ways that the processes affect the land and oceans.

  11. Choose a Standard for Your Project • Spend 15 minutes choosing a standard or standards to build a Webquest using Google Earth and/or Maps 101.

  12. Beginning Your Webquest • Take the students through analysis, synthesis and evaluation of information. • Use the vocabulary of the standards. • Fran’s Wiki • Webquest.org • Webquests for all grades • Webquest Template • Bloom’s Taxonomy and Multiple Intelligences

  13. Google Earth • What’s New in Google Earth? • Google Earth 5.0 Ocean You Tube Videos • Google Earth Mars • 5 Easy Things for Google Earth • See examples: mine and tours • Search for KMZ files on Google • Download a tour • Experiment with Google Earth: tours, files, resources

  14. Maps 101 • Log in now • User’s Guide • Content and Features Overview • Map Collections • Using Maps101 in the Classroom • Dozens of Ideas

  15. Interactive Maps • Wars and Presidents • My School: Satellite images • Reference Atlas • Current Events • K-3 Maps (Excellent!) • Classroom Resources • Learn and Play (My favorite!)

  16. Time to Create • Create a Webquest using Google Earth and Maps 101. • The rest of the time is yours

In the folder are a .ppt file and 2 or more .swf files. It is important the files with a .swf extension remain in the same directory as your final presentation for the animation effects to work. Suggested Directory Structure: your_presentation_directory your_presentation.ppt animation_files.swf

  25. Animation Factory Animated Templates In order for our templates to run properly, please check the system requirements below. System Requirements: 1. Internet Explorer 2. Flash Player 8 (or better) installed in Internet Explorer. PowerPoint will use the IE Flash Player to display the animations. 3. Visual Basic For ApplicationsThis should have been installed automatically when you installed PowerPoint. If not, this is located in the MS Office settings.: A. In the computer control panel, choose “Add or Remove Programs”. B. Under Microsoft Office, choose “Change” C. Choose ‘Add or Remove” features. D. Under Office Shared Features, Select “Visual Basic for Applications” and choose “Run from My Computer” You may delete this page.
