WORKSHOP: Google and Beyond
The word "Google" was once the name of an Internet search engine. Today, Google is not only a search engine, but a company that provides many online tools to internet users. Last year, participants learned where to find out about Google's latest technologies and how to use some of these tools. |
This year, we'll take a look at how some of Google's search tools have changed as well as some of the cooler new tools that are available. You'll also see new ways to obtain information--as we are no longer tied to using search engines to find information. Instead, we'll investigate the use of layers and RSS (really simple syndication) in conjunction with Google Earth (GE) which will allow us to access information from a geographic perspective--and have it displayed globally. Imagine reading the news--not in a newspaper, not on a web page, but reading it from the location where it is taking place!
Join us and learn how you can use Google tools to find the information you want and Google Earth to help your students make global connections to your instructional content.
To prepare for this workshop, please be sure that you have downloaded Google Earth. If your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for running Google Earth, be sure to check out a conference computer.
This is not a repeat of last year's workshop, new tools, new topics.
