Monday’s Muse by Brenda Branson

Our little sessions continue on Monday afternoon with plans to introduce Google Lit Trips and Community Walk. Many of our Social Studies classes integrate historical fiction into the SS standards and use maps with push pins to show areas discussed. They are all using DE videos and images to support their instruction so we’re going to learn how to put this all together and capitalize on all the benefits of the Web 2.0 applications enhanced by the Promethean boards and resources from DE. We’ll start with a video introduction to Google Earth. Next we’ll view a demo of a Google Lit Trip and what it is all about.
