FSC Fieldwork Sites

Noticed tonight that certain of the Field Studies Council Study Centres have a Google Earth file to show the fieldwork locations that they use.

Here is an image from the Slapton Ley centre...
I visited this in the 1980s as part of my degree, and have also visited 3 or 4 of the others over the years...

Creating Graphs and then placing them in Google Earth

Noel J has posted about the new graphing application that has been made available by Frank McAree of Alcester Grammar School.
The application offers the chance to create easy graphs which can be viewed in Google Earth. It can be downloaded from HERE.
The code generates a graph which can then be tagged to a particular location in Google Earth.

Check it out. This has a few possible uses as a basic GIS for plotting values for coursework / enquiries.

Nice work all round.
Will investigate adding to this to the relevant page of the website.

What has been the most exciting use you've made of Google Earth in the Geography classroom. Which example has 'clicked' with the students the most, or what has been the best piece of work that has been produced by a student ?

Happy to showcase work that is sent to me...
