One of the new strands this year was an IB Strand, with IB standing for International Baccalaureate.
Richard Allaway was asked to do two sessions for teachers. The first session was chaired by me, and took place on Friday.
This involved Richard and the IB Geography Chief Examiner: Simon Oakes
They talked through the background to the course, and what was involved for an audience that was largely teachers new to the IB who wanted to know more about the course.
The second session, on Saturday morning, was more about resourcing the course.
There are plenty of ideas here for geography resources, both textbook based and online...
Also the results of a survey on the Top 10 most useful online resources... A really useful, striking presentation:
Many of the online resources would also be useful for other courses, not just the IB.
If you are interested in finding out more about IB, the GA are organising a one-day event in London on the 24th of June, presented by Richard Allaway and you should book early to guarantee your place.
