In just the last three months there's also been a kit for creating your own labelled pictures and cloze exercises, an exploration of the 1953 Storm Surge on the East coast of England, and an exploration of coastal landforms.

The latest activity is described as follows:
This month's digital resource looks at how to describe man-made landscapes shown on Ordnance Survey maps. This is featuring increasingly in GCSE programmes of study with the emphasis being on the context of the location rather than just the skills of reading a map.
To this end I have included a number of popular themes... urban zones (CBD, Inner City and Outer Suburbs), Suburbanisation (a Suburbanised Village), industrial Landscapes (the port of Avonmouth) and the Rural/Urban Fringe (an Out-of-Town Shopping Centre). The tasks vary in style. One allows the user to describe the feature shown on one map in an interactive 'cloze' exercise, the second one involves comparing two contrasting areas. It is also possible to print the task so they can be done 'on paper' if you wish or, if finished, as a record of both the approach and the answers.
