I'm back from Glastonbury. Last week I was at the festival with fellow members of the Geography Collective. We had a marquee and offered 4 days of workshops and activities...
We liked this fairly recent BLOG POST from the Microsoft Innovative teacher network blog...
It included a good description of what we do:
The book, and forthcoming mobile app, incites adventurous play through a series of challenging missions. Playful ‘research’ is at the heart of each mission so that explorers get to grips with geography, politics, science, sociology, psychology, history, science, religion and other subjects in a provocative, fun and engaging way. Think of it as your own personal licence to explore that fits neatly into your back pocket! The Geography Collective is committed to getting the message out there, so much so that royalties from the book will be invested in free copies of Mission:Explore for deprived children.
