Abstract

The various technological resources of sec. XXI offer multiple opportunities for educators to build a better geographic and spatial understanding among students and bridge the gap between students and teachers and the less interactive paper map. Google Earth demonstrated support for students' learning in the geography discipline and increased levels of interactivity and user experience. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of Google Earth on student learning. The key question is: Does incorporating Google Earth into the contents of the social studies room impact student learning? This study indicates that the average grades in social studies in the class using Google Earth were higher than those using a printed map.
