DEN Mission 1: Make Your Mark on Planet Earth

For your 1st mission you and your students will create a Google Earth placemark for you school site.  We have a webinar scheduled on April 19 (1 pm est) to help get you started, but if you and your students want to fly solo, feel free to use our Make Your Mark on Planet Earth Tutorial.

Your placemark must include the following.

  • the name of your school
  • your grade level
  • number of students
  • anything that makes your school unique

A description of your area which includes:

  • special attractions we may want to stop by if we are visiting
  • local wildlife
  • anything that makes your town unique

Image Overlays of:

  • things that make your site/town unique
  • students
    • Note: If you use images of students, please send photo release forms to DEN Virtual Project Release Forms 1560 Sherman Ave, Suite 100 Evanston, IL 60201
