Geography crosses many disciplines. In this session, you’ll explore Google Geo tools for lessons, activities, and student content creation. We’ll explore Google Earth Projects, Google My Maps, Google ExpeditionsPro, Google Arts & Culture, and 360° imagery with Google Story Spheres. These tools give students enriched learning experiences that opens minds, teaches perspective, and sparks curiosity. As the global pandemic settles, students can use these tools to give voice to the lessons learned through engaging teacher-driven lessons and student content creation that fosters a better understanding of our world.
