Creating RI's Off-Shore Wind Farm | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From uri.maps.arcgis.com - February 2, 2017 11:50 PM
Today, to the southeast of Block Island, there are five new structures rising from the ocean. These are the towers of the Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF), the first offshore wind energy installation in the United States. The turbines will generate 30 megawatts of energy; providing electricity to 17,000 households on Block Island and coastal Rhode Island (McCann, 2016), and replacing the diesel generators that previously powered New Shoreham. The turbines are on schedule to begin turning in November 2016 once commissioning is complete.

This map is a very helpful, useful and fun guide on how to get the most of this website and to learn about geography and different places and facts of the world.

This source allows its viewers to select countries to direct them to a series of topic links. This allows the audience to interact and explore the world through visual representation of the globe. I can see this being implemented for warm up activities, quizzes and practice questions. Great source!

For your debate research.

This story map is a great visual of the current refugee crisis. This would be a helpful aid in describing the geographical barriers refugees face and how it affects them. For example the map shows where highest concentrations of deaths occur, naturally it is in the ocean. The ocean is a barrier for fleeing refugees. Think about how different landscapes and land forms can affect refugees available paths to flee
