A few other new bits...

Preparing materials for course for the GA Google Earth and Beyond course on Thursday - just updated the Dropbox that goes with the course, and changing the spine powerpoint now, as well as reminding myself of some nice visualisation tools and other links.

Was putting together a new document on the Historical Slider, and looking for places where the imagery can be used best.

Came across this nice weblink, with 10 interesting places to visit on Google Earth.

Students could do this themselves of course and find ten places they would like to visit... or 10 examples of a particular feature e.g. active volcano...

Also remembered the old BIG HUGE LABS option for Earth as Art... (as shown by Noel Jenkins)

Also check out WHAT WAS THERE....

Historical Images of the GA

Many parts of the UK (and elsewhere) are now benefiting from new imagery on Google Earth.

Just checked the GA's location: S1 4BF...

The image now shows the new development which has us surrounded, but if you slide the HISTORICAL IMAGERY slider back to 1999, you'll see the open spaces on each side where the foxes use to roam in the evenings (according to John Lyon) and when we still had a view up the valley... Try it for your local area...
