A teaching meditation on an apple.

The CITAL group practised creative planning in this half term’s session, the idea was to bring together a range of subject specialists and encourage them to develop teaching ideas based around a specific object.

I’m aware that I have become increasingly reliant on the use of ICT, and some previous CITAL sessions have reflected this, so I was interested in using our imaginations to find extraordinary uses for a mundane everyday object. ICT can make our teaching more effective, but we must also continue to develop and maintain our ability to teach with an engaging narrative.

Hat tip Alan. This is a fascinating idea, urban vertical farms. Less space, locally grown produce reducing carbon footprints (But as we know, food can be produced in the U.K. , transported to the continent, for washing and packaging, and then shipped back to the U.K. ), visually pleasing. But what about countryside?  One for the National Rural Dimensions conference at the start of the month.

The fall out from the announcement of a potential new Forest stadium continued today. The villagers of Gotham are reported to be against the development, stating that it will damage the environment and the picturesque nature of the Village. They are also worried about the sub-urbanisation of the village into the former council estate of Clifton. Forest have been stressing the potential benefits to the Clifton area, including employment and inward investment.

Forest have been offering further reasons for their decision including the lack of access to the city ground and the rising cost of redevelopment. The opinion within the fan base seems to be evenly divided at the moment, but some high profile individuals have been expressing their support.

I feel a lesson coming on…

Interesting reading in the Nottingham Evening Post this evening. Nottingham Forest is planning an ambitious project to develop a new 50,000 seat out- of-town stadium; though we missed promotion to the Championship  , it seems that we have clearly have ambition . The development will be linked to a new tram route and also include a hotel and leisure facilities. It is hoped that it could also be a potential venue for World Cup matches, if England bids to host the World Cup in 2018.

I’d be interested in the views of Forest supporters, perhaps even those Ram lovers…

Thanks to Tom Biebrach for highlighting this carbon footprint calculator from the W.W.F. (that’s the environmental group ).

My footprint is 3.08 planets, how do you do?

Nice to see some Geographers excelling during Sports Day this afternoon, congratulations!

9GD were robbed…. particularly by 9KI, we will have our revenge with rounders
