What a week so far! Will get around to updating a number of blogs and conference posts tonight. In the meantime, here are the handout notes for the textbook workshop. The notes details about the ideas and the pages used to illustrate the ideas. The video will be available soon! The handout is available here

Not long finished delivering the textbooks workshop. Seemed to go down well. The main thrust was that textbooks are not the creation of all evil. Rather, especially if learners are to develop into creative independent thinkers, we need to use textbooks in new ways. Creative use of textbooks can improve pupils' media literacy and make life a little bit easier for teachers. Textbooks Everyones Guilty Pleasure Workshop View more presentations from geogrocks .

A big thank you to all those who have taken part in the survey. I would ideally like the opinion of some non-specialist teachers of geography. If you have some in your department, faculty or school I would be grateful if you directed them to the survey here .

In preparation for a GA conference workshop I'm collecting some information. It would be great if you could spend a couple of minutes completing a short survey. The survey can be found here .

This blog has been very quiet recently! This is due to a large number of projects sapping my time! Still, I hope to update you all on what I've been up to and how this is improving my geography teaching. On Monday I'll be presenting a workshop at the Hampshire Secondary Heads of Geography Annual Conference. The focus is on Visionary Geography. With the upcoming revision of KS3 I'm looking forward to a positive day! I've uploaded the presentation to Slideshare and also have provided a short survey of delegates thoughts. I am genuinely interested in your feedback! Finally, it would be great to see you sharing ideas and successes so feel free to leave a comment! Leave feedback: Click Here to take survey
