At long last some sign that Teacher Tube has improved their server speed!
I found that a recent Google Earth geotagged video file suddenly worked properly, with no buffering problems at all. Previously I’d been disappointed so it’s good to report on this development.
Excellent news, since Teacher Tube is pretty much the only option for online video viewing in my digital prison (sorry, school)
After several weeks of work I’ve completed my third podmovie: ‘Return to Boscastle’.
The film uses BBC Creative Archive footage of the 2004 flood, combined with recent imagery to update the progress of the £4.6 million flood protection works that are being carried out. There are comprehensive revision notes to accompany this classic case study. Running time is around 6 minutes and it’s quite a large file. The Quick Time version is considerably smaller than the high quality podcast.
I’m very worried about the bandwidth implications for this resource. Please only download once. This film and the others in the project can be found on Juicy Geography.

A quick mention for this application that lets you re-create a very simple cartographic journey. It costs about £5.00. Simply show it one of the (limited) range of stock maps or create one of your own. Then add your journey. Road Trip Effect animates the journey as a Quick Time Movie.Here’s an instant example, based on a map from Wikipedia
I’m creating a collection of short Geography pod movies to be used as teaching materials or revision. I’m still playing around with formats and file sizes and thinking about the best way to publish them. Here’s a test sample:
