Wondering how to marry technology, social studies and literature all together? Google Lit Trips is a great place to start!
I came across this website today that uses Google Earth to create sightseeing tours that match that of a characters journey through a story. It definitely takes some time to navigate and figure out, but it is a super cool way to engage readers in a story.
I could definitely see a class creating one of these together and/or creating one on their own (depending on their age) or a teacher creating one to enhance the classroom curriculum and going on the journey together during a unit.
Here are few videos I found that give more information on Lit Trips. You can visit YouTube and search Google Lit Trips to find videos to help you create one of your own too.
This is a great way to marry technology standards with the common core standards as well as create a cross-curricular activity for your students!!
Take the time to visit the Google Lit Trips website and explore some of the journeys.
