Parallel Olympics

The 'legacy' of the games has been much discussed.
I've just finished writing something on the possible legacy of the Olympics and Paralympics for the geography classroom. It will appear in the TES in a few weeks time. I'll let you know where and when it's published.
In the meantime, we have an Olympic Park which is closed for redevelopment for a year or two. A very useful booklet on the SUSTAINABILITY of the Queen Elizabeth Park.

I've also added some Olympics ideas to the Webwatch column in the latest GA magazine. Much of what I wrote there is applicable to the Paralympics too of course.

There is an excellent post by John Widdowson to make the final parallel connections here....
