Web Mashups and Virtual Tours
I just grabbed this from David Warlick's blog at a recent tech conference in the states. This teacher was presenting about web mashups, using second life as a portal, google maps and flickr. Her example was one of taking a civil rights tour. He posted instructions.... I think this sounds amazing and will be playing with this tonight!
Lizbeth went on a Civil Rights Tour through the south, and she created a Google Maps interface for recording the tour. Again, someone asks, “How can we do that?”
Here’s how you do it. 1. Start with Google and register an account if you don’t have one already.2. Click on [Maps].3. Click [My Maps] where you can save your own maps and also browse a directory of other maps.4. Click [Create a Map]5. Title it and make it public or unlisted (you can share it either way)6. Make a pen, and then zoom in to where you want it to stay, and title it.7. A text box opens where you can type in text, rich text, or even HTML. There’s a tool bar for formatting. This is cool!8. If you want a photo to be part of this spot on the map. The photo has to be on the web, and you create a link to the photo. Click the insert a a photo button, and enter the URL of the image.

Warlick in Torquay and still Blogging
Here is David Warlick's blog from Torquay. He is reflecting on one state's poor decision making and the need for full time TL's in schools. I think he likes his job...I think I like his job!
