Thursday's Class with Substitute


Today you are going to explore a Website called Atomic Learning.

This website has tutorials or mini video lessons that will teach how to use different websites and tools. I want you to try using Atomic Learning by watching some videos about Google Earth. Once you feel comfortable, you will open up Google Earth and practice what you have learned.


Follow these steps;


1. Start a new tab and go to the BIS homepage

2. Click on School Tools on the bottom left, and then click on Atomic Learning. 

The username is; BarnstableIS 

Password; redraider

**Remember you must use capital letters on the B, the I and the S! **


3. For extra credit you may try filling out Atomic Learning in your School Sites Table, don't forget to save! (Show me next Class for extra credit or Candy!)


4. Once you are into Atomic Learning look for Google Earth in the spot that says applications. Look below for an example.





5. Click Find Tutorials, wait for it to load and click on Google Earth 5 PC/Mac, click on Google Earth 5 again

6. Now you will have a list of videos to watch. They are all about 30 sec to 2 min long. Please watch a bunch of them. Start with the introduction. The best videos are in the special features section, so definitely watch these! Here you can learn how to view the sky, use street view, and use the Flight Simulator!


Look at the picture below if you need to see what I'm talking about :)



7. Google Earth has already been downloaded on your computer, so once you have watched some videos look on your desktop to open Google Earth. Practice what you have learned and have fun!

Here are some more videos on Google Earth to check out:

Google Earth Flight Simulator

Google Earth Street View
