Journey Journal by the Geography Collective

It's been a good week for exciting parcels! The first publication from the Geography Collective in partnership with Can of Worms, landed on the doorstep yesterday.

The Journey Journal is a place for young people to keep a record of an adventure, trip, holiday, exploration or other journey.

The pocket sized book is a passport to adventure that will allow young people to engage with their surroundings. Ideal for school visits, family holidays or independent adventures.

Some comments about the Journey Journal:

"We think this is a fabulous initiative to get young people interested in the people, culture and traditions of the countries they visit." The Travel Foundation

"The ideal document for all aspiring geographers to keep alongside their passport - see a new place and write your own book about it." Dr Nick Middleton, University of Oxford, writer and presenter of the 'Extremes' series on Channel 4

"So many children today interact more with the screen in front of their noses than the world around them. The Journey Journal is a really imaginative way of encouraging young travellers to look up and around at the places they visit, to engage with the people who live there, and to think about the impact their travels might have on themselves and others." Hilary Wilce, education journalist and author of 'Help Your Child Succeed at School'

“This is exactly the kind of initiative we need if we are to successfully inspire the curious minds of the future to pursue a more thoughtful way of travelling; one that helps create better places for people to live in and to visit.” Justin Francis, MD www.responsibletravel.com

"I like the fact that the JJ asks questions not usually connected to 'kid's travel', and offers the chance for the younger traveller to actually experience something real and be truly aware of their surroundings. It acutally goes further than that and helps the user to create a social and emotional documentation of their trip. This is good. This is real." King Adz, urban travel author and film maker

High Impact, Low effort

This month is the start of the #29daysofwriting challenge. I enjoyed this last year and will be using my Staffrm account to post. I'll also be reporting here, both to give a little more detail and to keep a log of what I have written. The challenge developed a great sense of community last year, which is why I'm choosing to write on Staffrm. What I would say to those who are new to writing or don't want to run out of ideas is: Write for yourself. Clarify an idea, write something out loud. The process of distilling thoughts into writing is immensely beneficial to your practice. If other read, comment and respond, that's a bonus. Ignore the muppets who know nothing of your context, style or students. Mix it up - I like to read about real stuff from real classrooms and schools and also about other stuff. If we always write about school, how does that work for workload? If you've nothing nice to say, don't say it. So, the following has been

What makes a learning experience profound? Personal reflections and possible implications for classroom practice.

I have recently begun a Leadership Pathways journey. As part of the first core day, we were asked to reflect on a profound learning experience. This got me thinking about how many profound learning experiences I have both been involved in, and how many I have been able to give to others. Our group came up with a huge long list, but these are my five. Emotional Connected Demanding Reflective Collaborative As always, these are personal thoughts and quite mixed up. I put them here so that I can look back on them (plus they’d get lost inside my world-cup-free brain) 1. Emotional I can’t think of a time where deep learning hasn’t engaged my emotions. From being awe inspired to that tingle feeling when a student gets a light bulb moment. From this-is-the-happiest-day-ever, to I-think-I’m-about-to die. How often do we engage the emotions of those we teach? Here, I would argue that having a safe learning environment is not always conducive to profound

The danger of Teaching and Twitter conversations: poorly formed bipolar arguments.

Sometimes in life, there really are only two options. Get the wrong one and you can look like a muppet. Take this useful sign for the toilets in Morocco. I successfully navigated it, choosing the right option. The result? No egg on my face. As a mountain leader, there are many right or wrong decisions that I’ve faced, as there are all over life. It’s not a good idea to let inexperienced young people walk themselves down Snowdon. They may die or be seriously injured. If someone is showing the signs and symptoms of hyperthermia, you need to treat it fast in a specified way. There is no real arguing with this sign: Other options are less obvious. Take this sign recently spotted near to where I live: Now, I wouldn’t consider sleeping in a bin. However, faced with a sub-zero night, I could see the appeal. The danger? Being tipped into one of those huge lorries with a compactor. (by the way, I only really considered all of this thanks to questions from my four year old boy).
