Trying to make the site easier to manage – so I’ve redesigned it and deleted some of the old content. The Google Earth blog has been damaged by hackers. I’m waiting for Google to visit it and declare it safe again.

Recent Juicy Geography goings on…

I’ve been exploring Google Apps. I’ve written a short guide to setting up a learning community with Google Apps.

Finally, video + GPS + Google Earth are explored here. Nothing ground-breaking though!

Break for Juicy Geography

At the moment I’m not writing any new material for Juicy Geography or updating my Digital Geography blog. I haven’t given up on them, it’s just that I am in the middle of a writing project which is taking a long time to complete.

I plan to upload some new resources towards the end of the summer holiday.
