Here is an ongoing list of competitions for students to enter - some many not necessarily jump out as 'geography' but what's stopping your students entering science and English compeitions when using a geographical theme? https://t.co/ki7v8hLhmu

@MrLGeo @thegeoteacher1 Why don’t you write it yourself for Teaching Geography?

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

@CraigDavid Perú? Please!

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

@educatorJSH @teacherhead They also have it in their Spanish competencies so not sure what your point is. Other countries seem to value it

Anyone want to play 'Circle The Inaccuracies In A Single Paragraph'?

Happy to advise on a rewrite, @HodderEducation

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

@SilenceInPolish @HodderEducation You know what really worries me is that there are so many teachers advocating for textbooks and yet this is what we see.

@shaynedelande_ The main exporter of blueberries is Peru, we are in super El Niño and blueberry harvest has been severely affected.

@SoLInTheWild I think schools(& teachers) who have not taught the IB could learn a lot from the IB framework.

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

@SoLInTheWild Let’s start with an oral assessment for a start. The IB DP have had oral assessments for years, MYP has a dedicated communication mark. Or we could look at the careers programme as an alternative for the DP.

Türkler kadar çocukları seven başka kimse yoktur; bu konudaki fikrimden asla vazgeçmeyeceğim.

No one loves children like Türks and I will die on that hill.

SEN UYU ZEYNEP KIZIM, BİZ BURADAYIZ…

Sakarya’nın Sapanca ilçesinde, sel nedeniyle mahsur kalan 8 aylık Zeynep bebeğimiz ekiplerimiz tarafından kurtarıldı.

O zorlu anlarda yüreğimizi ısıtan öyle güzel bir an yaşandı ki…

AFAD personelimiz Murat Ergül, kucağına aldığı Zeynep bebeğimizin uykusu bölünmesin diye onu usul usul pışpışladı.

Zeynep kızım…
Sen bugün yaşananları belki hiç hatırlamayacaksın.
Ama büyüdüğünde bil ki sen daha onların adını bile bilmezken, onlar seni korumak için seferber oldu. Seni kurtaran o eller, uykunu bölmeye bile kıyamadı. İşte sen bu kadar kıymetlisin, güzel kızım…

Bizi biz yapan, en zor zamanlarda dahi kaybetmediğimiz bu gönül inceliğidir.

Başta Murat kardeşim olmak üzere, afetin en zorlu anlarında kendi canlarını hiçe sayarak vatandaşlarımızın yardımına koşan, gece gündüz demeden büyük bir fedakârlık ve adanmışlıkla görev yapan bütün kahramanlarımızı yürekten tebrik ediyorum.

Cenâb-ı Hak bütün evlatlarımızı her türlü afetten muhafaza eylesin. Bahtlarını açık, ömürlerini hayırlı eylesin.

@BarbaraBleiman I think you have hit the nail on the head. Most teachers I know are in education because they love their subject and want to inspire others. As a parent I want my child to feel safe, to be able to navigate the world around her, ask important questions & feel confident.

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

@DanielJHannan @LucyMPowell This made me laugh out loud. Geography is in everything we do, everything we say. Every post and article you write has some geographical concept behind it.

@3dancingfeet I think you’re from Essex, I used to teach at Westcliff girls.

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

After working in the independent sector for half my teaching career I can categorically say it pains me to see teachers who do not think oracy matters. I know this because of my experience in taking students (and coaching) public speaking competitions.

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

Maybe look at the IB language oral component…

[Fish64 @thefish64]

I'm unsure how a government focus on oracy will work, given everyone will prioritise the strands they like and ignore those they don't. And how do you assess it? Another minefield...

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

Everyone should have the opportunity of showing what matters, whether it’s persuasive, monologues, being able to change language based on audience or through debate.

@teacherhead @rastokke @ResearchEd_CL Saying that as someone who lives in South America and loves the outreach work of COAR here in Peru

[Briley Habib @Map_Addict]

@teacherhead @rastokke @ResearchEd_CL S. Am has a lot of talent which is hidden by language barriers. If only tech was put into place in English speaking research Ed confs. to translate (which it appears has been done for English speakers in Chile) there might not be the criticism of neo-colonialism at res ed.
