I used to print maps to teach the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes. Not only did this cost money (colour printingπ) but I never really felt that students grasped what I wanted them to. So after watching videos mainly @lcgeography (thank you!) I now use GIS! π§΅

How do you teach river processes? I find it is so abstract for my pupils. We do a river study for our fieldwork so this does help. However any tips?!! I need ideas. #geography #geographyteacher

20 local geography school teachers from Preston, Lytham, Lancaster, Blackpool and Chorley meeting up to research AQA GCSE geographyβs pre-release on the proposed Morecambe Bay Barrage Scheme. Can anyone help us bring the issue to life for our students? @timfarron @CatSmithMP

Today Y7 used GIS to explore the distribution of biomes across Asia. In Y7 we focus on adding layers, interpreting the legend and using the location tool. This helped us to develop our knowledge of latitude from a previous unit. We had some fab descriptions! #GIS

I have put together a case study booklet for our GCSE Geographers to hopefully help with studying for their mock exams. I know these can be a pain to put together! #geography #geographyteacher

This year I decided to use GIS to teach the challenges in London created by urban change. By flicking between the map of London boroughs and IMD map. We could make comparisons about levels of deprivation between boroughs but also within boroughs.

The Islamophobia and racism we are seeing are abhorrent. I agree that as a community Geographers should stand with those experiencing violence and discrimination. Geographical education can be a tool to challenge ignorance and the politics of hate to build more hopeful futures.

Can we have some solidarity #geography community? Muslim, Black and Global Majority people are under attack. Education hasn't worked. Children are impacted the most. You know when you have privilege.

Teaching from the front with GIS todayβ¦. Relief rainfall with Y7. Students noticed highest levels of precipitation in the north and west of the UK. We zoomed in and explored specific places that have the highest/lowest levels of precipitation.

But then we explored why this isβ¦.. By removing the layer and exploring the satellite base map pupils predicted that these areas were upland areas. So I said letβs see if youβre rightβ¦.. (jumps over to scene-viewer) β¦β¦I zoomed in and there were even gasps from my class!

It was great! As I zoomed into the Scottish Highlands I could feel their curiosity! Right on cue for an explanation of relief rainfall π #GIS #geographyteacher

An absolute pleasure to share #GIS lesson ideas resources with exciting π #LancashireGISNetwork
e.g. How can we use GIS to map georeferenced data collected in or near to our school?
Congratulations and thanks to @WellsGeog @GeogWortley for organising such a superb event!
