Suffolk Geography Conference

Just back from Ipswich, and Belstead House: a nice conference venue, but the rain meant I didn't have the chance to take some photos as planned...
Had a very good turnout for my keynotes and the network sessions in the afternoon. It was good to meet with the Heads of Department of 2 'Secondary Quality Mark' and 'Centre of Excellence' schools. Thanks for your contributions to the Ruth Totterdell inspired "Mr. Happy", "Mr. Grumpy" session...

Here are the 2 presentations that I used today: slightly edited to remove some copyrighted images and also with credits on the final slide...
Let me know if you have any questions about any of the content, or would like more information.

I hope I convinced you of the need to introduce an element of carefully planned CREATIVITY, perhaps using Chris Durbin's framework.
Also check out the NEW SUFFOLK LEARNING website, which contains resources that would also be useful for those outside Suffolk too... Choose CURRICULUM, then HUMANITIES...

Second session started with an overview of GIS, and then some resourcing issues. Many thanks to those colleagues who contributed in various ways, and thanks to Dale Banham and all colleagues in Suffolk for their efforts today.
