I think this is only the 2nd weekend I’ve had to do a bit of school work this whole term but when I do - I do it with David and #BluePlanet3

Some lovely content for A Level and IB coasts, discussing ocean currents

[Alice 🌍✈️ @TeachWithAlice]

Livestreams are one of my favourite novel tools to start or end a lesson with.
I’ve been teaching volcanoes and every so often we ‘check in’ to Hawaii and see what Kilauea is up to. Some days it’s pretty quiet but today it is overflowing with lava! 🌋

What a day!
Had just done my morning reg and the alarm went off.
Two and a half hours spent standing on a freezing cold hockey pitch this morning while answering “is the bomb squad here?” X1000.
Pupils’ eventually all sent home while their bags are still in the classrooms.

A school has been evacuated after receiving an email threatening that "an explosive device" is located within their building.

@curriculumni @seaviewps We were doing the same but for KS3 in our context thinking how overwhelming it must be for non subject specialists to make room for all this content for such young children!

@The_GA “What is Geography?” Since moving back to NI, I am astounded at how few 11 year olds know what geography is about. Think, pair, share with a top set class and the best we got was “flags and countries”

[Alice 🌍✈️ @TeachWithAlice]

Interesting reading. Yet we get so many challenges with getting pupils on time to school/class and kick back about consequences when we know it has such a long term impact.

Last day of summer & start of my 6th year of teaching!
Before I go back in I always start with my to do list. So much of ‘free time’ on baker days is wasted with ‘where do I start?’ so going in with a clear list and assigned tasks to each slot of free time is key

Even my simple Apple Weather app can show us this weather (mostly in England) is not normal!

Stratford/ QE Olympic Park in the media discussion once again - excellent resource for GCSE urban & Paper 3 and A Level Urban/ Changing places

Since my 2nd year of teaching I find the most useful way to note feedback is have a blank copy of the exam paper and as I mark, I make notes of the good and the bad - names of great answers who I need to celebrate or common mistakes which I need to readdress or even fully reteach

@fiona_616 @pumpkinfaeries @adamboxer1 I always felt the admin took over my allocated HOD time and the T&L was what I could squeeze in - or done in holiday time because it generally didn’t have a deadline and something I did because I wanted too rather than directed by SLT

Lovely start to summer term ☀️
Every school login hacked in NI
“What’s my new password?” X 100 /day
Online coursework not marked.
Planned yesterday’s lessons at 8am when I finally got logged back in
Pupils not accessing google classroom.

It’s been a week - and it’s Tuesday

A nice little example of marketing of places and how physical geography can influence that #ALevelGeog

Brazil launched the "Amazonia" tourism brand for one of the country's largest regions.

It was made with letters composed by the Amazon river and captured from a satellite.

#GAConf26 is always a highlight of my Easter holidays filled with great opportunities however - this Easter I’ve been a bit busier - buying my first home!🏠
So today instead of inspiring lectures it’s cleaning dust and unpacking boxes 📦

[Alice 🌍✈️ @TeachWithAlice]

A fantastic set of resources - especially if you teach HL IB Geography - global risks topic 🇺🇸🇨🇳

[Kate Stockings @kate_stockings]

An update to my Superpowers 'Beyond the Specification' resources to include the new 'Clash of the Superpowers' documentary on BBC iPlayer. Question sheet & answers too👇

Anyone teach economic activity at KS3? Would love to see how people sequence it - also includes trade, potentially Almighty Dollar work too

[József Krieger®✝🇭🇺🇷🇺🇨🇳✝ @JosefKrieg99804]

China can't buy oil because Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz and so they will buy it from the Russians. Russia will make a lot of money from this war. If Zelensky doesn't reopen the Friendship Pipeline, we Hungarians will have enough oil. But where does Europe get oil from?

[Alice 🌍✈️ @TeachWithAlice]

@MarineTraffic is also an easy GIS tool to show containerisation, globalisation, and of course today - geopolitics and how geography is at the centre of it all. #HormuzStrait

[Alice 🌍✈️ @TeachWithAlice]

@flightradar24 has always been one of my favourite underrated tools to teach, Geopolitics and globalisation - a great way to make quite complex ideas brought into every day contexts. Today this can be seen - more so than ever.

One of my favourite topics is superpowers - and how they change. This is geography diamond of an article - even has lots of GIS!
