La aplicación de Google Earth para la educación patrimonial en ciencias sociales

Abstract

In spite of the interest aroused by the knowledge of Historical Heritage, its presence in the curriculum is imperceptible from the documentary and material point of view. Through the implementation of an educational tour in Google Earth designed by third year students in the Primary Education Degree of the University of Cordoba and developed in the Didactics of Social Sciences course, we were able to get to know the environment of the Guadalquivir river and the natural and cultural heritage as it passes through the urban area of Córdoba. The methodology used was essentially investigative, by which the students were able to obtain information about the itinerary chosen and formulate their own hypotheses and results of the relationship between heritage and historicized landscape. The proposal also resulted in awareness and promotion of conservation, of natural as well as cultural heritage.
