Another amazing Google Project. From the archaeological areas of Pompeii to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, Google's World Wonders Project aims to bring to life the wonders of the modern and ancient world. By using our Street View technology, Google has a unique opportunity to make world heritage sites available to users across the globe. Street View is a hugely popular feature of Google Maps which is already available in dozens of countries. It allows users to virtually explore and navigate a neighborhood through panoramic street-level images. With advancements in our camera technologies we can now go off the beaten track to photograph some of the most significant places in the world so that anyone, anywhere can explore them.

You will probably need virtual box or parrallels installed for this one to be effective on a Mac. If you have a PC then you will need Word 07 to take advantage of all the features. Not a big fan of maths worksheets but a generator can be handy for that spontaneous diagnostic test.

Good online resource for those doing any "under the sea" topic work.

I was even more intrigued when he made reference to the work of Bernard Suits that claims there are three constituent parts that make up games: To play a game is to attempt to achieve a specific state of affairs [prelusory goal], using only means permitted by rules [lusory means], where the rules prohibit use of more efficient in favour of less efficient means [constitutive rules], and where the rules are accepted just because they make possible such activity [lusory attitude].

Simple but effective discussion about what is student centred learning.

This is a fantastic free movie making website. The best feature is text to speech, where whatever you type the characters will say. You can also change background, character appearance, characters expressions, voice accent and gender, and camera angles. Set up one account then all the kids can log in with the one username and password.
