In the introductory part of the activity students enter the virtual adventure, in 3D projections. They look at different geographical locations. They are tasked to discover, with the help of a variety of teaching aids and the Internet, the location of the site and to find as much information about it as possible. The task also means that the location is recorded on the interactive map.

BIOGRAPHY

Nermina Usejnovski, prof. B / H / S language and literature in primary school. I like innovation in teaching, especially new technologies, in 2016. in very difficult conditions, I worked with SOLE method students, and in this school year I introduced innovation in teaching literature and showed how new technologies can be used in the teaching of literature, in this case, Google Earth in the teaching of literature.

PRESENTATION

Google Earth in the literature lectures

Correlation of teaching content is special and necessary because students give the opportunity to use the knowledge from one subject to understand the teaching units from other subjects, and when the teaching of literature is concerned, then the possibilities are really wide. The correlation between literature and geography is not uncommon, but when Google Earth interacts with it, it can be truly magical.

We live in time when it is hard to predict trends and when one fifth of the world population has smartphones.

Today, innovation is enabling many opportunities and easier access to information.
