Embeddable Google Maps- Berlin Style.
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007Inspired by Noel Jenkins, I’ve been having a play with Google Maps for a couple of projects I want to work on over the coming year. The maps are now embeddable, you can add images and videos as well. Here is an example of a Berlin walk from the MFL-Humanities visit, including a video from student blogger Stringy, it took me around twenty minutes. Direct link.

Animoto- Japanese Style.
Monday, August 20th, 2007I’ve been having a play with Animoto this evening, it allows you to produce impressive looking videos of your images. You only upload images and if you wish music, the website does all the hard work mixing the final product. I uploaded from my flickr account and used the music available. Short movies are free. This video shows images from our Japanese Exchange.

Death by PowerPoint…
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007PowerPoint can be a great tool, especially when it is used creatively, Jackie Blackman, an R.S. teacher (the first R.S. teacher I have come across who blogs 
), has kindly uploaded some templates of PowerPoint games that can be used in the classroom. Some will be familiar, others not, but they are great examples of how to adapt the use of PowerPoint for more stimulating activities…
Calm Classroom Monitor
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007A brilliant idea from James Barrett, via the Kent Teachers blog. Can’t wait to get a microphone and try this out.
Slideshare Group
Friday, June 1st, 2007Another advantage of Slideshare is networking with other educators.
I’ve started a Slideshare group for Geographer educators to share PowerPoints. You need to sign up as a member of Slideshare to donate or download contributions. Once a member, you can share your presentations with the group, when viewing your presentation, look to right, there are a list of options, choose send to group, when you click on this, a dialogue box will appear, choose Geography presentation and send.
The group will email you updates of new presentations added. This might be a good way of sharing teaching resources with our partnership schools?
