Some lesson ideas I wrote for Boardworks a couple of weeks ago, scroll down the page.

Great little video from @Nick_Chater , with a star appearance

Some resources I produced for the Royal Meteorological Society.

The meetings are always informal and it’s a useful opportunity to chat and share Geography ideas with a number of people, it’s a great source of professional development- and free…

The next meeting is 3rd of November 2011. Feel free to join us, all experiences and viewpoints are welcome.

If you’re new to the meets just request access on the front page, I’ll then give you permission and you can edit the meeting page and Wiki. All you then need to do is turn up… if you’re shy you don’t need to use a webcam or microphone, stay quiet or pass opinions/comments in the chat .

Given the inspiring feedback we’ve received from teachers over the years we are now looking for practising teachers who enjoy using Boardworks resources to work with us to write lesson plans about the interesting ways they use Boardworks material in their lessons.

Perhaps there is a particular lesson that you find your students respond well to, or you may have an example of how you’ve successfully tackled a difficult topic in your subject? It’s entirely up to you.

The lesson plan should be approximately 300-500 words and cover material you already teach with, so we wouldn’t expect you to spend more than an hour or so working on this. For every lesson plan we use we’ll pay £50.

An example of just one of the great lesson plans we’ve received already for a Geography lesson can be found here: http://www.boardworks.co.uk/geography_704.

We also accept lesson plans across all subject areas, so if you’re interested in sharing one of your lesson plans with other teachers or would like some more information then please get in contact with me, Ros White, at ros.white@boardworks.co.uk and I’ll be happy to fill you in on the details.

Apart from visiting Peak Cavern we were taking velocity readings in Edale… I imagine they were higher than normal today.
