A Crash Course in Google Earth & Maps

Last week I held a webinar titled 5 Google Earth & Maps Projects for Social Studies. After the webinar I realized that there was a lot more that people wanted to know about using Google Earth and Google Maps in social studies lessons. That's why I put together a new on-demand course titled A Crash Course in Google Earth & Maps for Social Studies.

A Crash Course in Google Earth & Maps for Social Studies contains more than two hours of instruction divided into eight self-paced modules. In addition to the nuts and bolts of how to use Google Earth some of the things you'll learn in this course include how to create virtual tours, how to map datasets, how layer maps and images for comparisons, and how students can collaborate on Google Earth projects.

FAQs:

The cost for this course is $27. Registration fees from my Practical Ed Tech courses make it possible to keep FreeTech4Teachers.com and my free Practical Ed Tech newsletter going.

Why Do Our Clocks Spring Forward Next Weekend?

It's almost that time of year when when most of us in the northern hemisphere have to move our clocks forward by one hour. I never liked moving my clocks forward in the spring before I had kids. And now as the tired dad of two little kids who don't like to sleep, I really don't like moving the clocks forward.

If you or your students are wondering why we have to change our clocks next weekend, here are few short explanations.

Daylight Saving Time Explained

TED-Ed has two lessons that aren't specifically about Daylight Saving Time but are related to the topic. First, The History of Keeping Time explains sundials, hourglasses, and the development of timezones. Second, How Did Trains Standardize Time in the United States? explains the role of railroads in the development of the timezones used in the United States (and most of Canada) today.

How to Quickly Find the Sum of a Spreadsheet Column

Right now some of my students are designing their own Arduino projects. I have money for them to spend on materials, but they have to stay within the budget allotted to them. I'm having them use Google Sheets to keep track of materials and budget. Last week I noticed one student tallying her materials cost by hand. I used that as a chance to show the class how to use the built-in sum function in Google Sheets to tally the value of a column.

A few years ago I made a video about about using the sum function in Google Sheets. That video is embedded below.
