Pat Lambrose works in the Instructional Technology Department for the Salt Lake City School District. She has been my mentor, for implementing technology into my teaching (eMINTS), over the past 3 years. I respect her and appreciate her knowledge and assistance.
Today Ms. Pat taught the students of Room 207 to use the measurement tool on Google Earth. This tool allows you to measure distances or paths, with variable increments (e. g. feet, miles, meters, kilometers). Students measured our school field virtually to find out wether or not we actually ran a mile for P. E. this past Monday. It turns out that 4 laps around our field is a little over a mile! We'll have to let Becky know! We also found the field's perimeter and area.
Remember Ms. Pat's challenge 4th graders: Demonstrate to a friend or someone at home how the measurement tool on Google Earth works!
