Using the Magic Planet in the classroom GA Annual Conference 2007 Sean Gough

The GA says… …a fantastic tool for teaching and learning about planet Earth… David Lambert Chief Executive, The Geographical Association

A new classroom resource City Learning Centres 30 nationally Science Learning Centres Individual schools, e.g. Sir Thomas Richs School, Gloucester Cockermouth School, Cumbria Riddlesdown Specialist Science College, Purley Coopers & Coborn School, Upminster

Background to the technology Developed in USA Used for visitor centres NASA, NOAA, Epcot European Space Agency PPARC/NERC UK has pioneered educational use Now used in USA and China education

How does 3D help? Very little information today displayed in 3D We are becoming 2D screen-blind 3D creates greater audience involvement More attention and faster learning Even a desire for repetition!

How does it work? Standard projector (Dell) Specially coated globe Sophisticated lens Software (Storyteller and OnStage) Digital – no mechanical movement

What is an exhibit? Exhibits Many 100s already available Free! Easy to find/make new exhibits 1 or more images in standard format E.g. jpg, bmp, dds, etc. 2:1 aspect ratio 2048 x 1024 pixels

What is an exhibit?

Can I make my own content? Yes! Over 100 exhibits included Hundreds of additional sources
