Welcome to Earth 103: Earth in the Future!
Tim Bralower wanted to create a course that could earn students a lab credit without needing "formal" lab equipment.
Students complete 8 labs using Google Earth. First, students are given a worksheet that walks them through the steps to complete the practice lab. This prepares them for the graded version of the lab. The practice labs foster student readiness, so they know how to make all of the adjustments in Google Earth. Then, when they need to complete the graded version, their acquired knowledge helps them work through the lab material in Canvas. Instead of turning in lab reports, students complete the graded version of the lab worksheet and then answer the questions in a Canvas Quiz.
