Thanks to Liz Smith and students for sharing their Winter Iphone Apps. Nice work.

Examples of Students Work.

I’m always happy to see students’ work.

I was thinking about looking at the cold spell over the coming week, I’ll be asking students to write a piece about how the weather effected their week, but I also fancied doing something a little more creative- so we’ll have a go at developing some winter Iphone Apps!

I thought this could be adapted to other topics, so I’ve put a template together.

Both can be downloaded from my SlideShare account.

A couple of weeks ago, at a Geography FM meet, I was encouraged by Mark to consider sharing my R.S. resources, so I’ve made a start here.

It’s very much a work in progress, but I tend to upload resources as I use them within my teaching.

I’ve now also worked upon my homepage, I intend to use this more as a reflective journal for my practice and professional development.

The end of the year and time to say goodbye to some old projects that I feel aren’t working and don’t have time for…

Pilot Radical GCSE Geography- which was written for the GCSE Pilot Geography course is no longer needed due to our change to the CCEA spec, also the course expires come the end of June.

Radical Web Cam Geography- a project I didn’t really get into, also disappears.

Teaching and Learning Forum- part of my present role at College, but again didn’t really work, mostly because I didn’t have the time and commitment.

We still love rocks –remember that? Well, that’s gone as well.

On the upside I’ve imported all the posts from the previous blogs and websites to Share Geography, so all they can all be found through a search.

On of the issues is that I have spread myself too thin, too many rooms, so I’m going to keep Share Geography for Geography resources and ideas, and in the New Year, I’ll be blogging about teaching and learning in general at a revamped Tony Cassidy blog.

One of the best developments I’ve been involved in this year is the Geography educators’ flash meetings.

We’re now on meeting 11 and the last one of 2009.  It has been a great source of professional development. If you’re new to the meetings, you can view replays and associated resources in the Wiki archive.

All teachers of geography are welcome, irrespective of age, experience or responsibility, so please feel free to join us at the next meeting.

To register an interest in future meetings, or the present one, please request access to edit the Wiki, when permission is received, add your name to the attendees for the next meeting. If you feel brave and want to speak about a resource, topic or issue, please add to the agenda; alternatively add to future meeting suggestions. If you want to ease yourself in, just turn up and listen, no webcam is required. If you require any support, please let me know.

Thanks to those who have been supportive of this venture.

Thanks to Paul Williams for sharing this new pop-up model.

The file can be downloaded from Slide Share or Radical Geography.

A task comparing the global nature of the X-Factor and Strictly Come Dancing TV franchises. I’ve produced this as a homework/cover task- nothing special, but may save someone time.

Classic coastal geography this week with KS4.

We started off with having a play of coastal millionaire, the original template was by Mark E Damon.

We then watched the classic Geography in Animation video about coastal erosion.

Using this PowerPoint, we then discussed the process of stack formation.

After considering the geology of the Dorset coastline, we then spent two lessons preparing and completing a mystery task about Old Harry. Thanks to Mrs M for preparing this classic.

We finished with a little Content Generator just a minute game.

Next week I intend to use the computer room to produce an extended piece of writing about this case study. Then onto wave transport and spit formation.

I’ve now updated these resources on the R.G. page.

Thanks to Liz Smith, who has sent some examples of her students’ work.

Well done all.

A new selection of poems, we would appreciate people taking time to leave a comment on our work.
