Looks like there is some work ahead…just spotted this on Ollie Bray’s blog
Last year I produced some Google Earth resources inspired by the BBC’s groundbreaking Planet Earth series. I wanted to show the children where these amazing places were and although the video available on the BBC site is great, it does not contextualise it geographically.
So I made some resources on habitats using the videos available there was:
- Caves
- Forests
- Plains
- Jungles
- Saltwater
- Polar
- Freshwater
- Deserts
- Mountains
I posted them over on my forum for Google Earth resources, why not download them, take a look and let me know what you reckon- I think the video is only available to UK users (sorry 
)
I will be integrating their use in our science work this term when we look at how animals are best suited their environments.
Just wanted to let you know that I am interested in the video. I want to use Planet Earth with my second graders during the 2008-09 school year.
Tom I saw your comments on Joseph’s site – yes the skypecasts should have been recorded by the moderators – and a really neat thing about the Tapped In room ( at http://tappedin.org ) is that all those who participated received an email transcript of the conversation !!! how cool is that ??? There is an area in the tapped in room for K12 online conference follow up – eg there is planned to be a further skypecast in a month or so – Glad that you are having more response on GE ( I just wish I had an XP pc or latop and IWB in my room )at present we are looking at our local area – Cefn Fforest near Blackwood S Wales it looks great on GE but no good if you can’t show the kids becuase of techie probs!!!! – but I’m working on that (HT putting up with my winges at the moment – better strike while the iron is hot !!! )
Regards Paul
