Tom Biebrach has adapted my weather and climate task using webcams, he has produced a Google map with links to different webcams. The task is accompanied by a worksheet. Nice work.

Some nice work from Hugh Mothersole on the Wycombe High School website about the use of panorama images in the Geography classroom.

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.

Thanks to Paul Day who has sent me a webcam wall (138 k.b.), particularly like the use of timezones on this one.

Thanks to Helen, who has directed me to Camstreams , particularly like the Loch Ness camera. Helen has also sent me an example of a web-cam wall (PPT 139kb) she has produced.

Thanks to Mark for pointing me towards his website, where is he has already been making good use of Google Gadgets. He point out on Pilot Geography, that sometimes the webcam gadget lacks reliability.

Some of you may have come across this before, this Google Gadget allows you to embed webcams in your blog or website, sadly it doesn’t allow for live video streaming webcams, but it updates nicely. This is the Geographers favourite webcam from South Georgia, watch out for penguins.

I imagine though, that if you are devising a task based around certain webcams, this gadget may come in useful when devising a simple Intranet or Internet page, hence avoiding the need to access various links.

Hugh has added two new useful pages of webcams on the Wycombe High School site.

The first mirrors a task that I produced, and is hosted on the SLN site ( scroll down the page.), a couple of years ago, Live Weather Links .

Also on the SLN site is another task I produced, asking students to find live cam pictures of places they would like to visit in the world, map them and write explanations. Looks a bit old hat now, but could do with a revisiting.

The second is a page relating to Time zones, it links nicely with a study of Longitude and Latitude.

Great work.

I like this idea, involving webcams and Google Earth by Noel Jenkins.
