I’ve made this as part of a forthcoming course for NQTs. Maybe it will be useful to others. There’s hundreds of similar lists - but this one is composed entirely of sites that I find indispensible in my teaching (apart from Remember The Milk - I just like the name!)

Announcing a planned INSET for summer 2007.
This is a day long course in London aiming to bring together the fun and excitement of Google Earth and contextualise it within an 11-19 geography curriculum framework. The course is open to any geography teacher with an interest in GE, whatever their level of ICT experience. The course will be held at the New Horizons ICT venue in central London. Delegates will be provided with notes and a CD-Rom containing materials for the days sessions. The day will be presented by Noel Jenkins and Dave Holmes.
