I had the opportunity to attend TCEA's Virtual Technology Conference this past week. While watching a session on Google Earth, the presenter was sharing how to embed student created projects into a pin on Google Earth. At the time, Language Arts and Socials Studies teacher Mrs. Martinez had a group of her students in the library researching countries. She had told me they were putting their research information into a Prezi. I looked up Prezi to see if what I had learned would work with the program and it would! I shared it with Mrs. Martinez. She got excited about it and asked if I would show all of her students how to do it. I quickly made a handout with the steps and showed all the classes. Now, when the students present their project, they will begin with a saved Google Earth file. When it opens, it will zoom to their country so all students will have a visual of where the country is located, what it looks like, etc. and they will launch their Prezi from there.
I love learning new things and sharing with my faculty and students!
