What Country is This? ***Powerpoint Slideshow***

(0)
Powerpoint slides of maps with a simple clue that can be used as a class activity. The task is to determine what country is outlined on each slide. First the country outline is shown, then click on to a single clue to help identify the country. The clue might be a longitude or latitude, a key city, or a geographical feature. Use Google Earth to find the country from the clues provided. The task is simple, but the activity is challenging. Once the students identify the country from the shape and/or the clue, click on to see the answer. A great source I used to make these worksheets was http://www.amcharts.com/svg-maps/. Here you can download the outline of the maps and import them into Illustrator and move states around or whatever you might like to do for your own worksheets. There are 22 maps in all. Slideshow sequence shows the answer at final transition. (Sample pages only shown here)

Story Telling with Google Earth Placemarks (MAC)

Create fun storyboards that students then place on to geographic locations on Google Earth. The storyboards can be used to walk through a story showing each step of the plot on Google Earth - using images and descriptions - but they can also be used to create a tour of anything that you can think of. This pack shows students how to create their own simple Tour on Google Earth, by creating a storyboard(Word template included), setting up Placemarks, inserting images and description as well some activities at each location, then recording the tour for others to view. Very motivating. Also includes an assessment Rubric, answer key, 12 worksheets, and a Word document Storyboard template. Note that there are some very minor steps included that apply to Mac users only.
