new UK
Cities Dingbats may entertain your colleagues at the end of
term! Thanks to Iron from Scunthorpe (not sure if that is one
of the towns and cities!)

title is slightly (well very) misleading - it is TOWNS and CITIES.
Some of the towns are glorified villages!
I'll start you off - slide 15 is Leeds."
Thanks to Anne Bowerman (and her son Michael),
Westergate Community School in West Sussex, for creating this GeoDingbats
PowerPoint presentation which has been used for starters and
revision and to inspire pupils to do their own! If you haven't played
the game before or want to have a practice, there is an online version
at: www.dingbats.net/ Here
is Tom Cartwright's
Geography
Countries Quiz presentation (which is also Dingbats) which was used
at a prospective parents' evening as it attracted parents
into the room, the hardest part stopping show off dads from spoiling it
for the gathered kids! Humphrey Perkins High School in
Leicestershire. |
Stanchester's
Virtual India
'Every geography lesson is a
virtual fieldtrip unless it is a real fieldtrip' Chris Durbin. This
study of India is an imaginary journey to India and to the Bay of
Bengal Region. This is how to combine visual stimulus using an IWB and
creative activity for the pupils.
Thanks to Sarah Todd AST and her colleagues
Melissa Gardener and Sally Heppenstall at Stanchester High School,
Somerset. in illustrating it so marvellously through these Word files
and PowerPoint presentations.
