This study aimed to determine the impact of using Google Earth on students’ learning motivation in elementary schools in the Jakarta area. The practical contribution to this research is explaining to teachers that developing teaching variations using Google Earth technology can impact students’ motivation in elementary schools in the Jakarta area. The educational benefit is that they can contribute to providing analysis results using Google Earth on students’ learning motivation with the read, answer, discuss, explain, and create (RADEC) model approach. The study’s results stated that 52% of students were motivated to learn by using Google Earth.
