After having our very own version of swpa shop in Uni today I’ve discovered this very cool little video which takes you through all the countries of the world in a song. Great fun.

I wanted to post this up as it was drawn to our attentions during a lecture on communication today. Makes some interesting points.

Now that the E.U is expanding again, I’ve found this great little link on the BBC which will hopefully be good for classes. Happy New Year.

This is a really good video going to use it with my third years tomorrow. This is a topic I’m very passionate about. Wanting to raise awareness and present a balanced argument at the same time. Should be very interesting.
Climate Change

These programmes will be a great way of starting a discussion on climate change and its effects.
Geography’s Place
November 30th, 2006
Have been reading on blogs about Geography’s place in the curriculum and peoples concerns. What has been interesting has been the comments on taking Geography outdoors. I’ve always thought it a fundamental part of our subject that we have to take the pupils outdoors. When i told my 2nd years about an Amercian field trip recently everyone was instantly stimualted and alert. I want to be able to show these things to my classes. What’s stopping us doing solely geography trips? just a concern I am developing.

Three weeks into first placement at DGS, quickly learning how to improvise and deal with pupil discipline. If anyone has any ideas on how to get 3rd years interested in the weather please tell me. Found a good way to recap a lesson with my 1st and 2nd years is to make up games, going to try a cue card game tomorrow.
