Appropriate technology- SU 27-30

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Continuing with the development work, came across the work of Solar Cookers International today, so I’ve decided to use it as a case study of appropriate technology, focusing on Kenya.

I’ve produced this PowerPoint, an information sheet, student sheet and a case study summary.

Globalisation- Winners and Losers – SU 26

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Today’s upload is a classification which I did for the Pilot pre-release this year, so recycled for the CCEA Development topic. It’s an overview of the winners and losers of globalisation.

Also remembered today about the ‘Luckiest Nut in the World’ video, love this…

Introduction to Trade- SU 24-25

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Continuing the to produce development resources, a brief introduction to trade PowerPoint.

Also an animated Darth and Yoda illustrating trade issues, I’m hoping the visual will help with some difficult concepts. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether it works…

Coca-Cola- MNC- SU 21-23

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Continuing with the development preparation. Currently at this part in the specification.

Know and understand how globalisation both helps and hinders development with reference to one case study from an LEDC or NIC.

So I’ve decided to look at globalisation through Coca-Cola and its activities in India, also gave me a chance to adapt some old pilot work.

I’m also going to use the Mark Thomas Dispatches documentary on Coca-Cola, his follow-up book ‘Belching Out the Devil’ has several chapters related to India, worth a read.

I’ve created the PowerPoint above, an associated worksheet and a classification exercise.

CAMFED- SU 18-20

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

I’ve been working on some development work again and came across the excellent work of NGO CAMFED. I’m going to use it as a case study of how the development gap can be reduced.

There is also an excellent YouTube channel containing videos of the charities work.

I’m not yet happy with the resources, but these ideas develop over time.

Picture 008

Summers is finally here- hope everyone has a decent rest. After a challenging year, in which I haven’t shared as much as usual, I’ll be aiming to upload a new resource each day over the holiday that I have prepared this year. Don’t worry, I’ll be taking a rest, some updates will be automated.

There are currently over five hundred free resources on the site and another three hundred without a page but linked to this and my other blogs.

You can subscribe by RSS feed or email.

First up is this living graph, the aim is for students to consider the factors that have influenced the growth of international tourism. The resource can be downloaded from RG.
