SelmaTeacher 7 Mr. Berry here. Today I want to look at the new Google Earth app that's found
right within the chrome app box so let's get started with the mini lesson so to find this
new Google Earth app that runs right within your Chromebook simply go over to the Google
Apps now if you don't see your little Google Apps icon there you can go to a new tab or go
to www.uwec.edu/career now many of you might be familiar with the one that you use on the
Windows desktop and in the past we weren't able to actually use this within a Chromebook well
that's all changed and we'll show you some of the features here so you take this little man
here if you use oome in a little bit here towards California and I'm going to drop
the little man there okay now we're in really California and I can of course look around this
is very this exact same thing as we see in Street View let's go ahead and that's turn
off the moon fly up above it and notice down here in the lower corner where the globe's
at we could turn on 3d and now it looks like I have a 3d map rolling right in front of me
so so far it's exactly the same as you find in a Windows machine the only difference is of course
this is on a Chromebook so that's why I'm so excited because in the past I wasn't able to
do this the menu over on the left hand side if I click it there you can actually see you know
we have a search the Voyager my place is map style photos and other things there let's go
in and this is the search I was able to search other places if you already know the name on
the Voyager it's pretty amazing because the Voyager you can actually do travel and see
things like as if you just took a trip there so it really saves a lot of money and you can
actually do a walkthrough so I was able to drop the little man onto a beach in Hawaii and then
walk down the beach on Hawaii there so it was great there's nature here we can explore caves
different islands different other things here it's just amazing you can even explore space
you can look at different cultures if you wanna learn about culture and history that
about the cultures and with education you can learn much more about like earlier explorers
such as Lewis and Clark or dinosaurs or other things so there's this is a has a
high educational value and if you like learning which I do I think this is actually a very good
app the last one that we have here is history we explore some historical sites click explore
so here's the 3d view and then over here we have the history about this area and what we know about
it somewhere click on search and we're on type in the name of a town and let's fly there and this is
in Japan so why Tanushimaru machi because this is my in-laws house right here and this is where we
go during the summers so let's say that I wanted to take the little man and I can drop him there I
can look around in the street view if you click back on the man starts flying out and you can look
around the area in this futuristic 3d view here and it really looks just like you have a little
map of the city and you're just manipulating it around in front of you it's really amazing
well this video was created using my new Acer Chromebook 15 with touch screen and I just
completed a review of using this machine here now about Google Earth it has many of the same
features that you find in Google Maps as well as other Google services the difference here
is their focus on education and learning she cashed below go in and learn much more about
the history and other facts about these places well if you're watching this on youtube please
give it a thumbs up comment down below and share the video thank you again and bye bye
