Geographic and mapping tools have uses right across the curriculum, but they can also be valuable for learning important data management skills. In this session we will investigate two of Google's geo tools; Maps Engine Lite, and Google Earth. Using Google's relatively new Maps Engine Lite, we will learn how to find or create data sets and import them onto the map, then use filters to look at that geo data in different ways. We will create a couple of user-generated map using various datasets. We'll then dive into Google Earth and discover its many features for exploring the world, looking at the various overlay layers available, how to add custom pins and areas, add balloon information using HTML, creating flyover tours, etc. At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to confidently use Google's mapping products to design rich learning activities for students.

The use of Google Apps in Education ensures that students can work on their own, at their own pace, collaborate real time with their peers as well as teachers, get instant feedback of their own learning, can share their ideas etc. without having to be physically present at the same time and place. The internet and the cloud have actually meant the death of distance and time. Today my students work on projects with students from across the globe, thus building a global perspective. The Flipped Learning approach has brought in greater ownership and made them independent learners. They are able to construct knowledge. Hence they are no longer just consuming content, but also creating content. The use of Google Hangout in education has helped them to make friends across geographical borders. The gap between the classroom and the real world has got bridged and they are now able to solve problems analytically and using critical thinking.
