I used to print maps to teach the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes. Not only did this cost money (colour printing๐) but I never really felt that students grasped what I wanted them to. So after watching videos mainly @lcgeography (thank you!) I now use GIS! ๐งต
How do you teach river processes? I find it is so abstract for my pupils. We do a river study for our fieldwork so this does help. However any tips?!! I need ideas. #geography#geographyteacher
20 local geography school teachers from Preston, Lytham, Lancaster, Blackpool and Chorley meeting up to research AQA GCSE geographyโs pre-release on the proposed Morecambe Bay Barrage Scheme. Can anyone help us bring the issue to life for our students? @timfarron@CatSmithMP
Today Y7 used GIS to explore the distribution of biomes across Asia. In Y7 we focus on adding layers, interpreting the legend and using the location tool. This helped us to develop our knowledge of latitude from a previous unit. We had some fab descriptions! #GIS
