The border between Italy and Switzerland is being redrawn as glaciers along the frontier melt. The border was last changed in 1861 when Italy became a unified state, but this time the shift is being blamed on climate change.

GIS Mission: Wind Power Location
For Miss Blackmore's year 8 class...
You were set a homework task to have a go at the GIS zone mission on wind power location in preparation for the Sustainability assessment. I will be asking you three questions about the mission that you will only know the answer to if you have completed the task. Once you finish the wind power mission, why not try some of the others!!
Click here to take you straight to the GIS Missions.

'NORAD tracks Santa' goes live at 11am on 1st December at http://www.noradsanta.org/ where you can find new games and activities every day leading up to Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Eve, get up-to-the-minute reports and streaming videos from key stops on Santa's trip around the world. Google software will output live images from NORAD's high-speed digital “Santa Cams," and Google Maps and Google Earth will follow Santa as he travels around the world.

On another blog, Digital Geography, there's a link to a kmz file that overlays a tour on Google Earth of the flood prevention scheme on the lower River Exe. Here's a couple of screen shots to show you what's in store!
If you do not have Google Earth, download it here. Thanks to Noel Jenkins for creating this excellent tour!

Tetris and geography? Surely not...
"Statetris is an interesting game mixing aspects of the popular game 'Tetris' and geography. Instead of positioning the typical Tetris blocks, you position states/countries at their proper location. Fun, challenging and educational!"
Believe me, you'll be hooked!
Thanks to Miss Ellis for this gem.
