digital-earth.eu project examines the use of geographic media
in schools and teacher education. Geo-media is the visualisation of information
from different media sources and is concerned with digital content and its processing
based on place, position and location. Many geographic media are widely used
for navigation and routing purposes. Cartographic communication has never been
so easy to implement, therefore 21st century school education needs
to include geo-media into daily work. Innovative
approaches to teaching and learning are needed to study environments from local

The digital-earth.eu network links innovative centres around Europe where geo-media use is well developed. Products, resources, experiences and ideas are shared between the centres and opened to the public wherever possible. A digital-earth.eu infrastructure is under development. The European Centre and an accredited network of national and regional Centres of Excellence are developing an online catalogue of materials, courses, publications, links and good practice scenarios, and are publishing a series of core publications. digital-earth.eu presented at Media and Learning 2011  More than 300 delegates present at the Media and Learning Conference attended digital-earth.eu screening on Nov. 24th, 2011.
