Learning Object - Google Earth by Regina Chan

To me, learning object is a new concept, but after searching information from internet as well as Churchill and Mayer's reference about the definition of Learning Object, actually I came across some of them, for example the one I would like to share with you is the Google Earth.

I studied geography in high school and love travel. Before, I could only use books and maps for learning and information. But now, with the Google Earth, it can help teach everything from geography, science, maths or many more subjects. The core point of Google Earth is that it enables every person the singular opportunity of "going home." "Home" means different things to different people, using one application will touch everyone's life in an individualized way. What's more, the flash enable the 3-dimensional effect and allows us to see and interact with time, space, and other diverse types of data in one location. This make connections and participate in learning. I think students can come to this application of technology with a natural curiosity and are motivated to learn, who are not burdened with boredom that comes with some long-held traditional approaches.

More importantly, I have learned how to use the embedding function that is to insert a code into the operation system between Blogger and RISAL to share the information. This is just a start.
