More podcasts

I've just found more free geography podcasts here

More podcasts

I've found this site http://lhs.typepad.co.uk/weblog/geography/ which has (free!) podcasts for several topics. It is for the Scottish syllabus but many of the issues covered will be the same.

Global warming

I found this mindmap about global warming on Flickr. Click on the image to see a bigger version or go to Flickr here to download it in various sizes. There is another mindmap below just about solving global warming. Both very useful!

Solving global warming

I found this mindmap on Flickr all about solving global warming. Click on the image to get a full size version or go to Flickr here where you can download the mindmap in various sizes.

Mapwork

Some hints for the mapwork you might encounter on paper 1. Thanks to Mr Cowan, Geography teacher in Stockton for this.

Here is the blank template you can use for your case studies. Remember - you can amend the subheadings if you need to, depending on your case study. You can download and print this by using the drop down menu that appears when you hover over the 'ipaper' logo at the top.

Podcasts


You can create your own podcasts or there are some available on the internet for some topics that people have created (make sure they are topics we study if you intend to use these!) There is a new site offering podcasts to buy (for all subjects, not just Geography). Have a look at www.gcsepod.co.uk/ . They seem very reasonably priced.
