New photograph slideshows

Some schools were experiencing problems accessing our photographs through Flickr. We have bypassed this by embedding the photographs as slideshows in our own site. There are slideshows for rivers, coasts, tourism, Brazil, glaciation and volcanoes within these topic areas and slideshows for North Wales from the air and agriculture in the KS3 General resources section. See the rivers and flooding slideshow as an example.

Google Streetview and mapping changes

We have embedded Google Maps with Streetview into our site. It allows you to view the map and streetview simultaneously. See Google Maps with Streetview for more information.

We have also tidied up our online mapping. Google Maps, Streetview, Google Earth, Bing Maps and the OS Maps can now be found in the maps section with our selection of blank printable maps.

September special offer

For the month of September alone, we are offering an extra 3 free months free on all new subscriptions. This could be worth as much as £50 (for a 1 year KS3 and 4 subscription). Why not try a free trial and see what you think http://www.dreamteach.co.uk/free_trial/.
