Using Google Earth to Teach Mapping Skills

Have you looked at the Open Source Program Google Earth. All sorts of things are possible with this program. The interactive globe is incredible.

You can see more about the program in the KidReadz Lesson.

Using Picture Books to Teach Children's Art

Check out the KidReadz lesson plan, using the book Look ! Look! Look! to teach children about looking at art and to help them learn to paint.

In this lesson, the children will learn to mix warm colors, to mix flesh tones, and to paint the sun.

Collage, Shapes, and Design are also be introduced.

Google Earth and Mapping Skills are used to help the students grasp where the famous artists lived -- relative to where they live.
