- 3. Sparkling curiosity • The use of Google Earth helps to sparkle the curiosity in the students to raise questions on authentic geographical issues. • Navigating Google Earth using street views, the students can better compare the features of places supporting authentic learning with the virtual fieldtrips.

- 4. Collecting data • Customised kmz or kml files, which are easily available online, can be used to display geographic data in Google Earth. • The files integrate geographical data on the related topics and allow the students to evaluate the geographical issues in a more dynamic and interactive spatial context. Google Earth
- 5. Reflecting on data • The use of Google Earth also allows the students to see and analyse the spatial patterns and the geographical theory underlying them. • An example will be kmz file which show the various types of tectonic plate boundaries and the geological features and landforms formed.
- 6. Reflecting on the data • Imagery in Google Earth can also help the students to analyse spatial pattern e.g. the increase in global temperature differ in different parts of the world using the 4degrees kmz file.
- 7. Reflecting on the data • Imagery in Google Earth can also help the students to see the changes over time. An example will the kmz file on the Hurricane Katrina over New Orleans.
- 8. Map reading and Google Earth • Google Earth allows the students to see the authenticity of the data from topographical maps and better interpret them. I have created a kmz file which I have place marked and added information from the topographical map.
- 9. Google Earth in Geographical Investigation • A virtual trip/recee can be done before the actual fieldwork.
- 10. Using Google Earth to investigate rate of deforestation in different countries. Google Earth for Lower Secondary (Sec 1)
- 11. Google Earth for Lower Secondary (Sec 2) • Using Google Earth for case study. The Favela kmz file define the boundary of the slum area in Brazil.
