I am finding the ideas of Tom Barrett very inspiring at the moment. He has used Google Earth in some fantastic ways and through his twitter microblog, I learned about voicethread too. Tonight, he highlighted another nice site, which I wish I had known about when s1 were doing their Scotland haikus for Malawi. PicLits is a nice way of combining poetry and place, but can also help with writing by using keywords which can be dragged and dropped. From a geographical point of view, it would be a really simple way to promote understanding of landscapes through literacy. Tried it out above, just click on the picture for a two liner about coasts.
