Meograph – 4 Dimensional Story Telling Web 2.0 Style

Meograph – 4 Dimensional Story Telling Web 2.0 Style | ks3humanities | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's curator insight, January 13, 6:55 PM

This post from Mark Gleeson provides a great overview of Meograph, a fairly new Web 2.0 tool that allows you tell stories using images/videos, text, maps and a timeline, or as Gleeson states the "who/what, when, and where." In addition Gleeson takes the time to describe how to use the tool in words as well as a video, and also discusses some of the issues that he experienced. The Meograph website is geared to journalism and education. The education section states that the benefits of the site include "making learning fun with interactive content, easy for students to create their own projects, and perfect for history, literature and more." To go directly to the education site click http://www.meograph.com/education.

aún en fase beta y con algunos detallitos, pero una herramienta interesante para quienes gustan de acompañar sus clases con narraciones

Iceland's Volcanic Rivers

Iceland's Volcanic Rivers | ks3humanities | Scoop.it
Time and time again, we're reminded of nature's beauty. It's hard to believe, but these photos of real landscapes, not abstract paintings.

 

Andre Ermolaev, through his photography has captured the beauty of Iceland's geomorphology.  Being on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland has abundant volcanic ash which adds rich color to the fluvial systems.
