Oh My Lord! Our users can log their ski trip, hiking trip or sightseeing trip, upload it to Breadcrumbs with their photos and videos, and send it to all their friends, who can relive the adventure in 3D. And this is only the start, as we plan to provide our users with a platform to not only edit and maintain tracks, but also to find new places to explore and interact within a social network. a bit better than a postcard i guess.

Broadcastr is a new site that lets you record audio for up to three minutes and then "attach" it to a map location. It also gives you the url address of your recording. This could be a great resource for English Language Learners and all students. They could write, and then record, reflections from a field trip, describe their home countries, talk about something that happened in a particular place in a work of fiction, and then attach it to that geographical location. In addition to being there for an "authentic audience" (someone other than their teacher and classmates), the link to the recording can be posted on a student/teacher blog or website.

Could be great for VIA

"Those special events where everyone seems to have a camera flashing such as field day, classroom performances, and field trips offer a special opportunity for teachers and parents. It gives everyone a chance to grab those candid shots and capture great moments on film, but often there is difficulty sharing all those photos and videos in one place. Email works to a point, but often this is cumbersome and has limitations with file sizes. Worry no more. Today's post will make video and photo sharing easy while keeping those treasures private and safe."

No more not getting those parent snaps that you want!

A very cool way to let students visualise and chart the journey within a story.

The new thingg apprently. How could it be used to get students involved in their learning? Challenge Holiday people, try this to share your trip/s, how can you encapsulate the highs and lows of your break. Post it back to the nisclearners group.
