Had a little break from blogging as I prepared new resources for the Pilot and WJEC spec. Not feeling very rested…

This holiday I’ve also agreed to moderate coursework for the short-course Pilot, which I’m looking forward to, it should provide great insight into developing our coursework tasks.

Also considering what to do with Radical Geography, I may start to redevelop it according to themes, in preparation for our departure from WJEC and the new Key Stage 3. But wondering whether it’s worth it, a complete mess at the moment.

Picked up a copy of this month’s B.B.C  Focus magazine, great issue related to green issues, well worth a read and dispels some misconceptions about green living.

Congratulations to Rob Chambers who has produced a brilliant directory (Scroll down, direct link on the left) of Geography resources and ideas, a must for all geographical educators. Rob has also started a new blog, GeoBlogBytes, which is bound to become a must read. Congratulations Rob.

Well, it was a bit of dead-heat between Peter’s Corrie and Greg’s Scree Slope, but after consideration of second choices and the fact that Peter voted twice ;), Greg is the winner!

Well done!

The B.B.C. Worldwide now has a selection of clips, mostly Top Gear, on You Tube, sadly embedding has been removed, this is a nice clip of Richard Attenborough discussing a glacier in Antarctica.

Several new geography blogs have appeared recently that will be worth following, Sally’s GeographyRocks, Simon’s Soar Valley Geography, new blogs linking here include, Paul’s Interactive World’s and a Welsh language blog called Merch Y Myndd, sadly I don’t have Welsh as a second lanuage, but there seems to be some excellent recent additions related to Edward De Bono. Any chance of a translation?

Let me know if you’re linking to me!
