Some of our excellent UK colleagues have created a wonderful 15-minute video about GIS in the classroom made for Teachers TV. It features Digital Worlds GIS in a secondary school with kids of around 13 years old. It can be found at: www.teachers.tv/subjectBlockVideo.do?transmissionBlockId=315524&zoneId=2&transmissionProgrammeId=315546. The opening scene is one of the funniest and yet most captivating that I have ever seen in a GIS-related video - a classic moment!
If you register with the Teachers TV site, you can even download the video for use in your own training events. It ends up at just over 38 MB in size.
