GEGVL: Google Earth Based Geoscience Video Library

Google Earth Based Geoscience Video Library is transforming to Server Based. The Name of the Project will be later change to

VideoEarthStory

GEGVL: Google Earth Based Geoscience Video Library

GEGVL includes place- & events- based geoscience educational videos which have been made or reviewed by geoscientists or/and domain experts. There are two versions of the GEGVL so far, for STAAR and General. The GEGVL-STAAR is for middle school science teachers in the Texas area. The GEGVL (General) is mostly for 2YC, 4YU, and above. We will continue updating the GEGVL and upload them to this webpage. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in developing GEGVL or you want to become a video provider. It can be animations, simulations and any other visual format! Thanks!

Usage

Although you can of course use the GEGVL directly, we do recommend you build up the GEGVL and make your own Google Earth Video Library for your teaching purposes and your students. Sometimes, providing too much information will interfere with learning. You can also create your own GEGVL versions, the way of adding videos to Google Earth is provided. (For the text and other format settings, you will need to learn and use some HTML language)

For more examples, please refer to the Documentation
