Google Earth软件(简称GE)是一款虚拟的地球软件,其最大的特点是基于位置的服务,具有显著的地理时空特色,有利于帮助学生建立地理空间概念,培养地理思维。此外,它融合了卫星照片、3D虚拟图像模型、多样化的环境和文化数据信息,并参照地理坐标形成数字化地球,最终使用户可以随心所欲地从一个全新的视角来观察地球。高中地理教学中借助GE的强大功能可以打破课堂的时空界限,极大地丰富课程资源,将一些抽象的理论知识变得直观感性,通过多感官、多途径的视听刺激,开拓学生的眼界与思维,极大地提高学生学 Google Earth software (referred to as GE) is a virtual earth software, its greatest feature is the location-based services, with significant geographical and temporal characteristics, help to establish the concept of geographical space, to cultivate the geographical thinking. In addition, it incorporates satellite photos, 3D virtual image models, diverse environmental and cultural data, and digitizes the Earth with reference to geographic coordinates, ultimately allowing users to see the Earth from a completely new perspective as they please. With the help of GE’s powerful features in GE geography teaching in high school, we can break the boundaries of classroom time and space, greatly enrich the curriculum resources, make some abstract theoretical knowledge intuitive and sensual, open up students’ horizons and thinking through multi-sensory and multi-channel audio-visual stimulation, Greatly improve student learning
