This class was really fun! I enjoyed being able to learn about using Google Earth by actually going through and using it. There are so many features that I did not know about until I took this class. Knowing this information will be very beneficial in teaching students how to access and manipulate Google Earth for themselves.

I was unable to access Atomic Learning and reported the issues to the professors. I was unable to access the site using the link in Moodle along with the given username and password. Since this was an exploratory learning course, I was able to find sufficient resources to replace Atomic Learning. Otherwise, the course was organized well to help the learner progress and learn a lot about Google Earth and Google Maps.

I found this course well organized and useful. As a teacher I am always looking for new ways to improve learning in my classroom. If you teach history, I can think of few ways that can do as thorough a job as Google earth and Maps can. The work load is also appropriate for a 3 hour credit bearing graduate course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. Linda is quick to respond to any question you have and her encouraging emails are second to none!

This course was helpful in designing routes and labeling things in google maps and google earth. one of the assignments confused me because it said google earth and then google maps in another place. I wasn't sure which one to use, so I used the one that I was better at using. I am not sure if i will get deducted points, but I hope not. Overall, I enjoyed the practice and I really found a lot of super helpful sites for teaching earth science through this course!!
