Geotours Workbook: A Guide for Exploring Geology and Creating Projects Using Google Earthâ ¢

Would you like to get your students more active in Geology, both in and out of the classroom, or are you familiar with Google Earth™ but not sure where to start? The Geotours Workbook created by Scott and Beth Wilkerson (in association with Stephen Marshak) answers these questions with Geotours--active-learning tours that take students on virtual field trips to see outstanding examples of geology around the world. Arranged by topic, and with an accompanying custom Google Earth™ file of pre-loaded starting points, these worksheets ask students to observe and measure real-world geologic sites, deepening their understanding of important concepts from the textbook. Further, this workbook contains material explaining how students can develop their own interactive Google Earth materials, including media-rich placemarks, interactive flyover tours, and georeferenced photo & map overlays. Available as a free bundle with Marshak's Earth and Essentials of Geology textbooks, this title also can stand alone or work as a supplement in any course where students need hands on experience with Google Earth.
