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.

What City is This? **BRAND NEW**

These worksheets of printable maps each have a simple clue on each map that students use to determine what city is outlined on the sheet. Best used with Google Earth. The clue might be a longitude or latitude. The task is simple, but the activity is challenging. And some maps involve a bit of problem solving by the student. Students can also use the layout of the city as well to assist in working out the name. The worksheets have an answer key at the end. There are 10 maps in all. *************************************************************************** Learn more about the author at www.malcombrown.com.au ******************************************** 100% Money Back guarantee - if there is anything at all about this pack that disappoints or was not as expected, please get back to me and your investment will be completely refunded - no issue at all. *********************************************
