May is just a few days away and that means that most school districts have less than 30 days left. This is a very challenging for teachers because the students know the end is near. One of the most important strategies for managing this time of the year is to continue meaningful and engaging activities. Google couldn’t have released an update at a better time…
Google Lit Trips found at http://www.googlelittrips.org/ works with Google Earth to create plots on maps that align with texts. This is great for History and English Language Arts. Many of the recommended texts are already loaded and ready to use. Google Earth has to be downloaded, but now Google has made Lit Trips available on chromebooks.
Check out this tutorial from YouTube to see the steps that explain how to get a Lit Trip prepared for your students. https://youtu.be/f3fZWZezFTU
