MIT - Using Google Expeditions

This term we are studying water and the ways we use it.

Google Expeditions is an app you can download for your phone or iPad and it has The Water Cycle showing the basic steps of evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Being an expedition each image showing a different step can be rotated and explored from different angles with an explanation of what you can see. Although students can't use this through chromes the teacher can cast to a Tv or through a projector.

It will be interesting to see how this explorative tools will help students to write an explanation about The Water Cycle. I will also investigate to see if I can find other ways such as virtual tour through waterways to show students how and why we need water.

Of course, there is Youtube too.
