Thanks Penny, I loved this…
I was thinking how it could be used in class…
Curriculum Application – Speaking and Listening/Writing/Art and Design/ICT:Try this with a class to see what they think (be careful if any pupils have photo-sensitive epilepsy). Can the pupils explain what is happening? Put it on your class blogs, school websites, the MLE etc and it could spark a good online written discussion.

John Pugh (former HIAS ICT Consultant) has kindly uploaded a range of photographs of areas across Havering to the National Education Network. Click on the link above…
There is also a set of photographs of the ICT archive held at CEME – so, if you are looking at how technology has changed then there are images here too – that can be added to PowerPoints, digital videos, Word documents etc.
Additionally, there are photos of London at http://gallery.e2bn.org/gallery1398-.html
Thanks John.
LGfL (as part of the National education Network) has made available a photo gallery of London.

This is just part of a much larger resource, available to London schools. This will be an ever growing resource.
