Half the World's Population

Interesting infographic, with thanks to Rich Allaway for the tipoff...

Half the World's population apparently lives in just 6 countries...

CPD as a process...

CPD events are, of course, irreplacable events: face to face networking is the best (some would say the only) form of networking. 

One outcome of the co-constructivist sensitivities of a growing number of geographers is the ability to take vicarious pleasure in events that are not personally being attended, through Twitter posts of people who are there, or blog posts after the event.

Richard Allaway recently delivered a 2 day INSET for IB Geographers.
I was, unfortunately, unable to pop across to Paris for the day, but thanks to the wonders of Slideshare, I don't have to...
Richard has kindly shared a presentation that he used, which is packed with ideas. The missing ingredient with any of these presentations of course is the presence of Rich talking through the slides...
Plenty of ideas here...

The Trial of Alfred Wegener

Richard Allaway has taken an original idea of mine (which I did with my 6th form groups) and taken it to the next level.
The idea is that the students play the defence team trying to defend Alfred Wegener who is proposing the idea of PLATE TECTONICS. They could also play other roles.

Richard has reworked it as an activity for YEAR 9 PUPILS.
Give it a go...
