Google Earth is a virtual globe. Once downloaded user can access geographical map information through a built-in search. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite imagery, and aerial photography of geographical information. The Google Earth free version provides multiple functions such as capturing 3D building image sketch ups, and surfaces are available. Users can create and save KMZ files for pinning locations on a map. When using Google Earth in Digital Learning Design the KML files (keyhole markup language) can be specified to specific spots on the globe. It’s similar to bookmarking a location and it allows teachers to produce links for points of interest.

Speaking notes for a Google Earth tour and demonstration. I wanted to show my colleagues how GE can be helpful in civil, environmental, and related projects on a daily basis.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. What is Google Earth? Google Earth is a satellite imagery-based mapping product and a 3D model of the entire planet that allows the user to grab, spin, and zoom down into any place on Earth, as well as, various locations throughout space and the ocean.
3. What are some special features of Google Earth? Use layers to study weather, seismic activity, etc... Demonstrate distance calculations. Google Sketch Up and Overlays Link video, audio, images and websites Use Discovery Streaming and Buildersand web 2.0 tools likeGlogster and Jing Create paths, polygons, and tours Explore the moon, Mars, sky and oceans
4. Why Use GE in the Classroom? To give teachers opportunities: To provide a sense of reality and purpose for learning within the K-12 classroom To engage and excite learners To help learners conceptualize, visualize, share, and communicate information about the world and science To provide cross-curricular learning options To create active, exploratory, and empowering learning environments To give students opportunities: to exhibit their learning to others to use emerging technologies and digital tools to communicate their research in a personally meaningful way (Web 2.0 ) to view their world from a more connected, global perspective to enhance map reading and navigation skills
5. Examples of Google Earth in the Classroom Fifth graders used Discovery Streaming and Jing to build a collaborative Google Earth Tour. Each group of students were required to report “live” from a various regions (polar, temperate and tropical) across the world informing their audience about climate and weather. Students took notes throughout the process on details from their region, and used content from related video clips on Discovery Streaming. Students used their notes to create a narrative that would be used to report back to their audience via a Google Earth tour.
6. Examples of Google Earth in the Classroom First grades explore a virtual field trip in which students visit each continent to learn about different frogs. Through interactive activities, Discovery Streaming videos & assignments, and various Web 2.0 applications, the students are learning as they create and share products that demonstrate their knowledge on the frogs from each continent.
8. Search, Places and Layers This is what the screen will like when you open up Google Earth. 3D-Viewer There are three features to use in the toolbar to the left.
9. Three Ways to Fly 1. Enter the location name - Spelling Counts - Do not use "The" - Examples to try a. Eiffel Tower b. Niagara Falls c. Statue of Liberty 2. Paste in coordinates from Wikipedia or another source Eiffel Tower 48° 51' 29" North, 2° 17' 40" 3. Enter City, Country - Then try adding layers a. 3-D Building Warehouse b. Geographic Web c. Google Earth Community
10. Using the Places Feature/Build Tours The places feature will remember any place that you recently visited from your desktop. You can also save to my places. Organize, Save and Share Google Earth Files (KMZ,KML) Drag content into a logical sequence in a folder Right click on the folder Save as a KMZ file
14. Using the Layers Feature The Layers feature in Google Earth provides a variety of data points of geographic interest that you can select to display over your viewing area. This includes points of interest (POIs) as well as map, road, terrain, and building data. Some layers act as a folder that contain categories of data. These layers are indicated by a plus sign. Click on the plus sign to view the sub-categories for each layer.
20. Adding a Placemark Click on the "Placemark" icon in the toolbar A flashing placemarker will appear. You can drag this to the location where you want to mark. Right click on the placemarker, a box will come up for you to write a description. You will want to give your placemarker a title. This is also where you would write in information for your students, questions, etc, link websites or embed code.
21. Adding a Polygon or Path Click on the "Polygon or Path" icon in the toolbar A flashing marker will appear. You can drag this from location to location to create a polygonal shape. Double click on the Polygon, a box will come up for you to write a description. Free-Form shape Click once, hold, and drag. The cursor changes to an up-arrow to indicate that you are using free-form mode. As you drag the cursor around the 3D viewer, the outline of the shape follows the path of your cursor. If you are drawing a path, a line appears as a result, and if you are drawing a polygon, a shape evolves from the path of your cursor, always connecting the beginning and ending points. Regular shape Click and release. Move the mouse to a new point and click to add additional points.
22. Adding Images Click "add image overlay“ and this box will appear. Give your picture a title. Then click on browse to locate any saved files in the computer.
