« w00t voted Merriam-Webster word of the year | Main | Where should I get my Christmas tree? » December 13, 2007To the teacher trying to track Santa Claus: Try YouTubeIn a comment on my Dec. 1 post about tracking Santa (NORAD Santa-tracking site up today; Google Maps, YouTube to help), reader Jennifer writes, I am a mom and first grade teacher and would love to go on NORAD 2007 for the video that usually prefaces the tracker Christmas eve. I cant seem to get the site to do anything but tell us to wait until Christmas eve. I thought last year I was able to pull it up before Christmas?? We are studying maps and globes and thought this would be an exciting way to do it! Jennifer, I agree the Norad site is rather lame -- a game and a Google countdown-to-Christmas gadget. What you're looking for may be at YouTube.
Here's a trailer promoting NORAD's big night, much slicker than last year's. Found along the way: NORAD tracking 2005 sighting 1. It's probably the same one you used last year. the second norad sighting or the christmas of 2005 finds him in New Zealand. The last broadcast of 2005 is a santa sighting in hawaii. santa sighting in paris is a report from last year, with some geography. These clips let me zero in on the one YouTube uploader who has made it his or her business to collect these reports: Scar the Lion King's NORAD tracks Santa collections from 2005 and 2006, each with 24 parts. This preview -- does Santa's route change? -- could be just what you're looking for. Posted by Sheila Lennon |
