ICT in the geography classroom // let's have a #geographyriot .... Last year my Year 7′s and I introduced “Year 7 Takeover” where I handed a lesson a fortnight over to them for teaching their own lessons.

This is the truly global project that asks the children of the world to introduce us to the people of the world. We've seen videos and resources that ask the question, "if there were only 100 people in the world, what would it look like?" This takes that idea of making demographic statistics more meaningful one step further by asking student in schools for around the world to nominate some "representative people" and share their stories. The site houses videos, galleries from each continent and analyze themes that all societies must deal with. This site that looks at the people and places on out planet to promote greater appreciation of cultural diversity and understanding is a great find.

This just makes me realize how the world would be if we only had 100 people rather than the billions we have now.

We’ve talked about virtual field trips and connecting with other schools online many times. But what about actually seeing how your classroom stacks up to the others around the world? Julian Germain has been doing just that. He has photographed classrooms from England to the US to Nigeria to Bangladesh to Qatar. You get the idea. Below is a small sampling of his pictures and be sure to check out his website for more information / how to order the pictures as a bound book, etc.

We all know that geography is important; but what can you do with it?

An interesting look at how Google earth assists in geography and has made a contribution. It also though gives concrete examples of how geography is used. Often when something has a broad term it is dificult to imagine exactly what it is that occurs in that role. This is useful to just get students and teachers thinking a little more outside the box in terms of 'what is geography? How is it used?"
