Yeah, yeah...we all know what Google is and how it can be used in the classroom. Students and teachers alike can use it to do unlimited amounts of research. But did you know there are off-shoots of Google that are even more interesting for classroom use?
- Google Scholar. This acts like a Google search engine, but provides more scholarly, reviewed articles over any topic. This site could be used for any subject.
- Google Earth. This allows students to see any part of the world with just a click. Users can zoom in and see what pictures satellites have taken of the Earth -- they can even find their own school or house! A few questionable images have been captured on Google Earth, but I understand it's fairly rare, so it's not really something I would worry about. Geography teachers could use this to get an up-close and personal view of places they're studying in class and literature teachers could use this to show real-life settings in books.
- Google Body. Check out the human body in a digital form. This one's for you, science teachers. I think it's the coolest thing ever. It shows all kinds of intricate details of the workings of the human body. Check it out:
