Bring the World to your Classroom Using Google Geo Tools- CUE Workshop

The Google geo tools enable everyone to interpret and understand the concept of “place” meanwhile making connections to cultures, nature, locations, physical features, environmental changes, and more. Increase students’ geo-literacy skills, by giving them tools to help them reason about, and make decisions, regarding Earth systems.
