To Minh Chau, Tran The Dinh

Abstract


Applying information technology to teach students majoring in Geography pedagogy in a university environment in the direction of capacity development has contributed to improving training efficiency and quality. By analyzing and synthesizing documents combined with pedagogical experiments in the classroom, the article introduces Google Earth and the application of Google Earth to teach some geography modules for students of geography pedagogy at the An Giang University, Ho Chi Minh City National University, in the direction of capacity development. Through lessons and tests, assessments help students improve their general and specific competencies in Geography. In addition, the article also proposes some recommendations to allow lecturers to use Google Earth to teach Geography at universities more effectively.
