The TES gets a new website on the 21st of August. I had a quick play with the Beta version, there are some new features which will hopefully encourage sharing of resources and practice.

A range of videos that might be useful to colleagues. Which ones would you add? Thanks to Kelly for bringing to his my attention.

Some terms and ideas to discuss in September.
A recent online discussion of landscape brought be back to thinking about topophilia, the love of a place. Do you love your place?
I’ve also been interested for some time in the concept of psychogeography, how emotions and behaviour are governed by a place; one aspect of the sub-discipline is that in order to have a better understanding of our environment we must break from our daily routines and behaviours. Psychogeography is the basis of the Geography Collective’s work on Mission Explore.

I know Alan, Noel and Dan have been working on this, it also the basis of the Geography Collective’s work on Mission Explore.
Wondering how we can further tap into these within the curriculum…
