Sign in and stow your phones out of sight. Log into a Chromebook and complete the WYAW activities.
Watching your iPad PSAs.....
What is your perspective on this process?
Getting Google-y: So far we've used Google: Blogger (blogspot), Sites, Drive, Jamboard, and gmail. Here are a few more to consider:

Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/
This tool is very useful in finding research related to a particular topic. You can often access the entire article by using the link to the right of the citation. You can also get the article citation in a variety of formats (e.g. APA, MLA, etc.)
Google Keep: https://keep.google.com/ allows you to keep notes, add images, create checklists, and sync all of this across multiple devices. Search for "Google Keep". When you see the results, right click and choose "Pin to shelf" It can also run offine (these apps are indicated in the Chrome store) by a lightening bolt. Every time you log into Chrome on any device, your Keep notes will be accessble.
Google Arts and Culture: https://artsandculture.google.com/

Google and Chrome go hand in hand and allow for some powerful tools you can use for your classroom including (Google) Classroom.

STUDIO TIME: Creating a virtual tour using the Projects option in Google Earth.

Let's explore a few examples:

But wait, there's more:

Open Google Earth (https://earth.google.com/) on your Chromebook and explore the left side menu
Start a Project to create your own custom tour of a location.
Choose the Create >> Google Drive option and name your project with a one sentence description.
Now you are ready to add locations by choosing "New Feature"
1. Search for a location - the place or a place within the place (e.g., Paris or the Eiffel Tower)
2. Once at the location look at the information box at the top right of the screen and choose "Add to Project" and choose your project name and "Save".
3. Now edit the information for that feature (location/pin) by clicking on it from the list at the left of the screen and then the pencil icon.
4. Click "Replace" and add your own information (if you use info from the web, make sure to cite your source at the bottom of the information box).
5. Now add your own selected images by clicking on the box with the icon of a camera and locate two or more images you wish to add to your feature/location description.
6. Your work is saved as you go in Google Drive as long as you are connected to the internet.
