Live and In Color From… “The Internet”

By Wayne Ulian – CUEBC ProD Coordinator

The Webcam has arrived! Make sure the sites you choose and computer(s) you’re using are working properly (preview your visual tour before class). Then gather everyone around to experience a fascinating “live” trip which will, hopefully enrich the curriculum and motivate further inquiry. Here are a few of the many live web cameras running 24/7 on the net. Use a search engine (www.google.com) to find specific locations / subjects.

#1 http://www.earthcam.com/

Geography: take a virtual fieldtrip Seattle. This technology allows the viewer a 360 degree look from the Space Needle: http://www.spaceneedle.com/webcam/ Or perhaps a spectacular look down on Niagara Falls http://www.fallsview.com/Stream/NightVisionRefresh.shtml

#2 http://www.camcentral.com Try the “category menu” approach - Airports: here’s camcentral’s view from the south departure area at the Edmonton Airport:
