Watched this today to find out more about @dannydorling’s new book. Some shocking facts & figures shared about the state of inequality in the UK- well worth a watch for any #geographyteacher Needless to say, another book added to the TBR pile… 📚

In particular I'm looking at improving fieldwork at KS3 and making our KS4 fieldwork more affordable. Currently we coach students to an FSC centre for a rivers day. Coach alone makes trip v expensive, then adding in tuition. Any suggestions @GeogChat? #gcsefieldwork #aqageography

There will be no #GeogChat for the duration of exam season so Geographers can have a deserved rest in the evenings. Good luck to you and your students!

The last question for this evening - a bit of a change in direction → Do you use any AI tools when you are looking for "geographical treasures"? #geogchat #geographyteacher

So you have found a 'geographical treasure' - what do you do with it? How do you store (and then process) your 'geographical treasures'? #geogchat #geographyteacher

Let's make a start 🚀 Please share one or two sources of 'geographical treasures'. Somewhere that keeps providing 'geographical treasures' (websites, videos, articles, resources) that you find useful. One rule - it can't be an individual on Twitter. #geogchat

Something to consider which may help for revision, homework, class content and cover for AQA GCSE (other specs to follow) all made by geography teachers, for geography teachers. 4 week free trial available with no obligation. century.tech/explore-century…
