Handy hints when searching for images

If you search for a country name in www.google.co.uk under the images search, what you get is maps! The best lessons with internet maps are those which look at quality and ask pupils to compare them. 

 If you want good images sites of a particular country add the word images or photographs to the name of the country in a normal web search.

We've captured the shot -

Carly Goodwin from Holden Lane High School has sent these two PowerPoint presentations, which provide pupils with images to study and then they are asked to write an informative and creative newspaper style caption for each picture.

This is a visual treat from Dr Peter Knight of  Keele University.

A brilliant and a reminder that Geomorphology is about making sense of landscape change as well as disaster, death and destruction. He posed a good teaser.  What has Madeley, North Staffordshire  have to do with an ice dammed lake?  Peter has kindly recreated a virtual lecture on line.
