My tour is for third grade and satisfies Objective 3:
Demonstrate how symbols and models are used to represent features of the environment. And standard:d. Locate continents and oceans on a map or globe (i.e., North America, Antarctica, Australia, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean). My subject matter is the continents and oceans. I chose this because it is important for students to understand how our world is laid out and the tour really helps show it well.
I used teaching tools such as letting the children discover on their own what they need to learn but I also gave them specific instruction about the subject.
The technology I used was google earth and this is helpful to the content because it helps the students get a great perspective on the material. It is helpful to the pedogogy because the tool allows the students to explore the material on their own.
Location Activity Description Google Earth content
1. North America Use the ruler tool to discover how wide North America is.
