Whatever happened to the Geography Pages?

At the PTI earlier in the week, a colleague from Norfolk asked about my GeographyPages and what happened to it.

This was one of the most visited geography websites in the world for a while... when there weren't many out there...

As it happens, in 2013, I decided I wasn't going to update it further and move to concentrate on my blogs - particularly this one.

Check out the various activities that Rich organises, which includes a range of websites...

Powerful knowedge in the classroom

A new book was added to the library of books made freely available by UCL Press at the end of last week. The books are available on the UCL Press website, and JSTOR.

The latest books is about bringing powerful knowledge into the classroom.

The geography chapter has been written by Dr. Alex Standish. It explores the curriculum thinking of two heads of department, who consider how knowledge is explored in their classrooms.

It's a fairly short chapter and is worth a read.
