I decided to use Google Earth with Shelley for my software. The software allows students to input their address and see where they live from an arial view. When you input the address Google Earth zooms in on the location and you are able to move the screen to view different angles! We are working on an All About Me unit in kindergarten where students are sharing information about themselves and will learn about their community and world around them. This is a great tool to use to show students where they live in comparison to their peers and eventually other places in the world, for example where their families originated. This is a great tool to give students a visual example of where they are in relation to Carson Elementary, where I teach and their home.
After looking for awhile for an appropriate assessment online tool I decided to use Survey Monkey. I like the idea of being able to create a simple survey to see if my students are able to learn/memorize their address and hopefully they already know the name of the school they attend, etc.
I am very excited to integrate Google Earth into my lesson for All About Me!
