I've chosen Google Earth as my technology for several reasons. First, I think it applies to every single discipline out there. Some examples of how to use Google Earth in your classroom are to take a tour of volcanoes around the world, measure distances and velocity, and so much more. For math specifically, there is a website, RealWorldMath, that is all about how to use Google Earth in a math classroom.
I focused on how to create tours using Google Earth. A tour can be made with only visuals or with audio and visual representations. It's sort of like Jing, which I used to make a tutorial for how to make a tour, only just for Google Earth. So next up is the quick tutorial on how to make a Tour for your students. To view the video as a full screen view, click the button in the bottom right corner to pop it out into full size. Press ESC to leave full screen view.
Now here is the .kmz file that I made using Google Earth. It is a tour of where several mathematicians are from that worked with trigonometry.
