AstHead & SLE (Geog & Most able) with @SloughTSA - sharing ideas and technology to make our take on Geography unique and LGS an Apple Distinguished School

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

Worth a watch for @Edexcel_Geog B students, learning about Tropical storms - year 11 @lgs_news geographers: we talked about storm surges when we did this topic in the summer term of year 10, ahead of hurricane season now

I'm a geographer: author and professor of geography at Oxford University

'For the new generation of young people who are passionate about the planet, the degree choice is obvious: geography.'

@ploguey @kate_stockings @m_chiles @_jopayne San Francisco is a good example- comparing two previous earthquakes and then looking at their preparations for future EQ, including drills and shake alert- dig around on economist and you find useful ideas about insurance (and who can/can’t access it)

@LangleyGS_Tech @Jigsaw24Edu Getting used to the power of @SaharaAV Clevertouch boards combined with Apple tech, 4 Year 13 @Edexcel_Geog synoptic essays questions on the arctic. 4 different ways of using apps to show the essay plans. 4 plans shared with students through QR code

@lgs_news and from the top of the Perlan Obversation deck- where the hot water is stored for the city of Reykjavík

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news last day, a bit of time to explore Reykjavík: starting with the Hallgrimskirja to reflect on how the physical geography has inspired architecture and reflect on the impact of the Reformation in shaping the Lutheran influence on culture

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news We’ve just finished at Pingvellir, the heart of ‘power’ in Iceland- the natural amphitheatre physics of the rifting plate boundary ideal for the worlds oldest democratic parliament, alongside the geothermal power that could transform global energy geopolitics

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news from the top of Kerid Crater- a great opportunity to discuss the interaction of large scale, long-term tectonic processes, all the way down to micro scale short term rock breakdown - leaving the discussion question: why is our landscape not flat?

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news some beautiful photos of the scenery along the coast on Tuesday afternoon taken by @Monique93633251

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news It’s Weds morning- after last nights Hamburgers & late night swimming: lots of tired faces! We’ve arrived at Nesjavellir geothermal power station- building on our Fracking work in Y8: thinking about the geopolitical shift that comes from decoupling from fossil fuels

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news from Tuesday afternoon, stunning views of Iceland’s most important volcanoes and interactive education at The Lava Centre about the hotspots/mantle plume that fuels the energy beneath the island

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

From ⁦@JogwithAplin⁩ : we’ve been climbing up the Skógafoss waterfall, surprisingly tough given the icy conditions, but an amazing view of the 5km raised beach out to the coast ⁦@lgs_news⁩

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

⁦@LGS_news⁩ ⁦@LangleyGS_Tech⁩ - Some lovely photos by Saood of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss on the #Iceland South Shore #iphonephotography

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

⁦@Lgs_news⁩ beautiful early morning for the geographers as we head for the South Shore- lovely photos here from Gaurav

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news 1st stop on the Reykanes peninsular, the spectacular @thelavatunnel - volcanic flows eroding their own lava tubes, cold bacteria, oxidation, snow and ice causing spectacular rock breakdown formations

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news year 9 geographers have arrived safely in Reykjavik

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@lgs_news and on the ground at Belfast, waiting for bags, about to head into the sunshine for fieldwork around the Titanic Quarter

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@LGs_news LGS Geographers are all through security, boarding and heading off to Belfast

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@SloughTSA @lcll_ioe the beauty of this programme is creating time for talented Slough teachers to design just one small scale way to change how they differentiate in their classrooms and collect evidence of whether it worked- Think: #SloughChildrenCan

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

Lots of lovely ideas @SloughTSA : how to ‘learn children’ to bring down barriers to turning verbal ideas to written, lesson refocus on group work encouraging verbal expression, building relationships with students to elicit honesty, #ThisIsSlough

[Daniel Mace @LangleyGeog]

@SloughTSA @lgs_news @lcll_ioe We’re working this afternoon supporting Slough RQTs to develop Evidence-Informed Practice - first task, reporting back on the mini investigations they’ve tried about Pupil Voice since October
