Still on a blogging holiday but wrote this before Christmas, so if this goes to plan it should be published on Boxing Day. I’ve now updated Radical Geography to include my top five favourite resources and a nearly complete weather and climate section. I have also added some other content, but you’ll have to do a bit of exploring to find it. My aim is to add one new resource for each day of next year, so it will be a long process. When I’ve completed sections I will announce it via the blogs. I’m enjoying working through my content to put what I feel have been my most effective resources together, sometimes resources can be too personal and just work for the individual or the class they were devised for, so I can’t vouch for their quality or whether they will have a use in your classroom.

See you in the New Year.

Santa is on his way… he’s presently in Tajikistan, you can track him via NORAD.

Recent video of Santa in China. Just make sure you’re in bed before he comes.

I’m taking a holiday rest, so see you in the New Year.

I’ve now reorganised by web projects. My personal domain name will be the gateway to my various projects. I’ve also now sorted the layout of Radical Geography and will begin to update the content in the New Year. The Pilot Blog will announce new resources for Key Stage 4 and Share Geography will announce new content for key Stage 3. So please check your RSS feeds. I imagine in the future there will be a Key Stage 5 blog for the new sixth form, if we get a cohort together. Radical Geography and the gateway now have a custom Google search engine. In the meantime I have produced a Top-Ten downloads page for 2007 ,as a pre-Christmas present to colleagues, some surprisingly resources were favourites.

I’ve now updated the teaching and learning newsletter page , as well as uploading our newsletters for the first and second part of the Autumn half-term. Autumn issue part.1 has been edited to remove the personal details of new staff. All documents are now PDF files.

Thank you for all those that have contributed, including our external colleagues.

We are happy at K.H.C.T.C. to have contributions from external colleagues that will inform our practice.

As always, any comments are welcome.

Have a happy holiday season and a successful New Year.

Sorry about the lack of posting, over the last two weeks I’ve been suffering from an illness, which is why I was absent for one.

Best wishes for the Christmas holiday, wishing you all a successful and happy New Year.

Have a go at the simulation on Hurricanes and record your scores below, the aim is for you to prepare an island for an approaching tropical storm, this will aid your assessment work on Cyclone Sidr. There will be a prize for the best score, you can try as many times as you wish. Please use first names only, your email address is not made public and can only be seen by myself, please use your College address.

Best of luck.

P.S. the educational stimulation is currently blocked at College, but I’m working on it.
