The Checklist document is a useful one for those who want to develop their skills in a particular way, or create perhaps a Google Earth course, with certificate, for students to follow in their own time (or as part of prep or homework tasks...)

Check the YOUTUBE channel too...

Another really useful Google Earth link, and a useful reminder of some of the recent changes and updates.
Also read this to see how Google Earth has changed...

New sky diving game

Thanks to Keir Clarke for the link to the game.
You'll need to use CHROME to play it...

Sky dive onto famous landmarks, and steer between checkpoints and catch stars for points....

Give it a go...

Enhancing Fieldwork Learning Showcase

Enhancing Fieldwork Learning is an HEA funded project, which explores the way that technology can enhance pedagogy in fieldwork in particular. There is a focus on data collection, and the use of mobile learning.

Last year, I went to the 2nd annual Showcase event of the project at Preston Montford Field Studies centre, and until recently I was due to attend the 3rd event at Rhyd Y Creuau

I gave a presentation last time on our work with Mission:Explore and the connections with ludic pedagogies...

This time I was going to talk about the DISTANCE project that we have been working on.
However, instead of making my way to Snowdonia yesterday, I was teaching, and instead of presenting at the FSC Centre today, I was marking Year 7 homework. All part of my transition back to teaching...

I've tweeted a few folks who are at the event, and from the sound of it there have been some excellent presentations and fieldwork excursions.
I've been following the event hashtag too: #eflshowcase

Follow the Twitter account too...

Some apps and other tools that I've been using for some years have been getting a mention, so good to know that I'm up to date here... Some further new ideas too. Some of the resources will also be shared on the website after the event hopefully...
A mention of GE Graph on here...
