Google Earth in the Classroom by Vera
According to Professional Learning Board blog, “Google Earth can provide a much greater level of engagement as well as activate different learning styles and thinking skills. This is an opportunity to help your pupils move from being passive consumers of information just looking at maps and content on screens to being active creators of content.”

b) Visit the link "Google Earth for Educators" and read about the lesson plans, tutorials and tips and some posts in ‘community’ to learn a bit more about the app.

In this forum you will be debating the dichotomy Digital Natives / Digital Immigrants. The central question is:
"Is the digital native/ digital immigrant dichotomy realistic?" If yes, how should we, teachers, conceive our teaching for 21st century education? If not, does it mean that nothing changes in the way we teach?

This video aims to make you reflect a little bit on the use of technology to serve the purposes of 21st Century education.

What is a WebQuest?
"A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. The model was developed by Bernie Dodge at San diego State University in February, 1995 with early input from SDSU/Pacific Bell Fellow Tom March, the Educational Technology staff at San Diego Unified School District, and waves of participants each summer at the teach the Teachers consortium at The Tacher Scholl in Ojai, California".
