University of Salzburg, Austria unveiled digital-earth.eu project, a unique collaboration with a wide range of organisations from across Europe. The project involves experts in the use of geographical media in education, including specialists in teacher training and education. The goal is to connect these experts through a European Centre of Excellence in order to share innovative practices. A network of accredited national and regional experts, endorsed by European associations, will act as multipliers, working with teachers and educators in their own countries.
The reality in Europe is that geoinformation literacy has so far been ignored as a core competence necessary in education. The reality remains that most teachers do not have the digital competences needed, nor are they aware of the opportunities offered by geo-media. Furthermore the working conditions at school do not yet support the integration of these ideas, tools and competences. Over the last 18 months Salzburg University has worked to develop the concept of the digital-earth.eu network with more than 60 partners. The proposal to the EC was approved in late 2010 and the first full meeting of partners will take place in July 2011 in Salzburg, Austria.

Rashid's Blog: Portal for Inquisitive Learners 
Climate Blame science was born in liberal political correctness 25 years ago and has ended up being progressivism’s version of the neocon’s Iraq War of lies and fear mongering. You condemned my kids to a CO2 death with such glee and so flippantly and that is why the vast majority of voters are now former believers. The new denier is anyone who still thinks voters will reverse course and vote yes to taxing the air to make the weather colder and to hand over the management of the climate to carbon trading markets, corporations and politicians.
REAL planet lovers are angered by the selfish exaggerations committed by the scientists we foolishly trusted. Let’s be real liberals again, not obedient fear mongering Greenzis.

Hey Rashid. It’s great that you talk about eco-issues and the environment! Good to know that there’s someone out there who still cares about the Earth 🙂 We have started an initiative called the earthian, meant to teach school and college students about the above concepts at a young level. It will be great if we get your support/guidance. Here is the link to our site: http://p1n.in/erthn and Fb page: http://p1n.in/ertfb
