Want to cheer yourself up a bit?  Why not visit the beach at Daytona, Florida?  Try this link for a quick break:  http://volusia.org/beach/daytona.htm 

This is live streaming video from the beach.  And there's plenty more where that came from.  

This is just one example of how webcams and the internet is quite literally changing how we (and our students) can look at the world, in real time. 

Here’s a few more examples: 

Times Square:  http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/index.php?cam=1  (don’t forget to check “Cam1” which is live streaming video)

Monterey Bay Aquarium Otter-Cam:  http://www.mbayaq.org/efc/efc_otter/otter_cam.asp  (right click on the otters to zoom to full screen.  It's better than a fish tank)

Waikiki Beach in Hawaii:  http://www.honolulu.gov/multimed/waikiki.asp

California Department of Transportation Trafficams:
http://video.dot.ca.gov/  Worried about heavy traffic on your way to work?  Just log on a check for yourself before you go.

Here's a website that has lots of links to cameras all over the world (including that one in Times Square):
http://www.earthcam.com/

This site also has links to all kinds of webcams all over the world:  http://www.webcamplaza.net/  Just in case you haven't had enough yet here's a resource for plenty more webcams. 

PRACTICE ACTIVITY:   Contemplate, just for a minute, having a live streaming webcam in your classroom or place of work.  What would be the positive and negative consequences of that be? 

Here's a link to an Education World article on this very topic:   http://www.education-world.com/a_tech/sites/sites081.shtml
