CITAL-TAL Forum…

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

For Teachers and Educators…

One of the areas I have been working on over the last half-term is co-ordinating teaching and learning at my College.

As part of sharing our practice with other educators I have now set up the CITAL-TAL blog, please be gentle it is currently under construction. :)

You can read a ’snap-shot’ of our practice and other projects within our teaching and learning newsletter, which will be published half-termly.

Much will not come as a surprise for my online Geography colleagues, in fact, many are credited with ideas.

We are keen to have conversations with other educators across the world, whatever the subject specialism or age range. Please feel free to leave comments.

If you have a teaching and learning co-ordinator at your establishment, I would be grateful if you could pass on the link. This is a new role within our College and I’m keen to discuss it with others.

We now have a Research and Development Group, as a group we are keen to visit schools involved in innovative projects or just to see good practice. Of course, you are welcome to visit us!

Many thanks

Tony

UK webcams in Google Earth

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

This one looks worth investigating, a set of U.K. based webcams linked to Google Earth. 

A brilliant range of live feed and static, but periodically updated, web-cams that covers the whole of the United Kingdom,  all nicely classified according to place marks. 

It could make a nice resource for a weather or place related task. 

The original file was produced by Google Earth Community member Weatherman 22. Hat-tip Google Earth Library.
