New Job and Digital Explorer course...

It's official, so I can tell everyone now...

Any idea what's going on here ? Answer to come shortly...

Here's another clue....

Just to embarrass Chris...oh, and David too...

Off to the RGS

Anyone else going to Jamie Buchanan Dunlop's session on Tuesday of next week ?

This course is designed for people who have already attended the introduction course or are regular advanced users of Google Earth. It will cover how to integrate field data into Google Earth, creating geo-referenced graphs as well as choropleth maps that can be used in the classroom.

The weather looks like being nice for it...
I'll report back after the event.

Up to 100 000 people killed ?

Google Earth INSET Courses

The DIGITAL EXPLORER site has kindly made available a range of training materials, and also some example resources made by people who have attended their training courses.
Thanks to Jamie Buchanan Dunlop for this. I'm going to be attending one of these courses which has been organised for Chartered Geographers later in the year.

The HANDBOOK is excellent !
Many thanks.
