Thanks to Twitter post from Dean Shareski with the link to his newest post “Video Adventures in Google Earth“, I was reminded of the possibility of embedding videos into placemarks you place on Google Earth and Google Maps. I am preparing our Egypt trip and this will come in handy , when uploading diverse media into the Egypt Blog. Embedding audio should work too, right? Will have to test that soon.

    Thanks Joe,
    I am still trying to customize this embed feature. It has some issues with WordPress it seems. Once you post you can’t edit it, unless you turn the Visual Editor off.

    Also there are some issues with the ‘MyMaps” feature in Google Maps. It does not always seem to give me the correct code for the map I have selected. Will have to play with it. The potential for place-based learning is there though. I am excited.

    I’m writing to all the ESL-related blogs that are on my blogroll. I’d like to invite you to consider sending in a post from your blog that has appeared within the past few months, or that you will be writing in September, for inclusion in an ESL “Carnival” that I’m hosting.

    I’m sure you probably know that a Carnival is basically a collection of posts from various blogs on a selected topic. All you have to do is pick a post you’ve written sometime over the past few months or one that you will write in September that you think is particularly insightul or helpful and that’s related to teaching English Language Learners. Send the link to me by Sept. 30th and I’ll post the collection shortly thereafter.

    If there’s interest, we could continue this monthly or quarterly, each time hosted by a different blog.

    Here’s a post I’ve written announcing it:

    And here’s a link to a recent “Carnival of Education” to give you an idea of what a Carnival might look like:
