Google-up your GCSE coursework

There’s a new article for students on using Google Earth and Maps in GCSE coursework.

Juicy Geography has been redesigned.

Trying to make the site easier to manage – so I’ve redesigned it and deleted some of the old content. The Google Earth blog has been damaged by hackers. I’m waiting for Google to visit it and declare it safe again.

New Google Earth lesson

I’ve written a new Google Earth based lesson…

The lesson home page is here (or click the picture)

New additions

I’ve revised the page on Aegis 3

There’s a new wiki project for GCSE students – the idea is that they create a revision guide.

Geography pod movies

I’ve started creating video podcasts for GCSE revision.

Latest updates

Recent Juicy Geography goings on…

I’ve been exploring Google Apps. I’ve written a short guide to setting up a learning community with Google Apps.

OpenStreetMap seems to offer a lot of potential – I haven’t come across anyone using it with students yet, but it could be fun. Read more.

Finally, video + GPS + Google Earth are explored here. Nothing ground-breaking though!

Break for Juicy Geography

At the moment I’m not writing any new material for Juicy Geography or updating my Digital Geography blog. I haven’t given up on them, it’s just that I am in the middle of a writing project which is taking a long time to complete.

I plan to upload some new resources towards the end of the summer holiday.

Juicy Geography Wiki

I’ve set up a wiki for my Year 8 geography class to write up their local enquiry.

Darfur wall donation

Thanks to the teachers who supported this campaign by buying postacrds. We raised £46.00 which was shared between  the Darfur Wall and Give Geography It’s Place.

New Google Earth lesson

I’ve uploaded a new lesson that uses Google Earth to assess the impact of sea level change on the Gold Coast.
