Juicy Geography’s web log
Thanks to a really nice tweet from Simon Renshaw, and input from Mark Ollis and others on Twitter, I’ve accelerated the new version of my Web 2.0 toolkit specifically for geography teachers. There’s a lot of updates to this version, and I’m quite pleased with it.

My latest image on 360 cities.net – taken to exemplify a modern, mixed-use redevelopment in a CBD.
I’m doing some work for NQTs tomorrow, and have updated my Web 2.0 toolkit with some new discoveries (especially eyeplorer, thanks to Kenny O’Donnell, and John Davitt’s learning idea generators) This version has been slimmed down for a non-subject specific audience. Links to the interactive diagrams are below:
My recent 360 degree panoramic images with some degree of classroom potential have been added to a new page on Juicy Geography. Eventually they’ll be sorted out into categories and suggested teaching ideas added.
It has been incredibly expensive to buy the necessary equipment to make these images. I wonder if the donation button will get any response? It is easy to remove the embed option – which I will if they start appearing on other web sites!
A quick for Mark Warner’s Ideas To Inspire mini-site. Collaborative presentations of good teaching ideas contributed by educators around the world have been neatly organized into a really useful reference resource that’s bound to grow over time. Cheers Mark!
I’ve created a Google Docs presentation to generate some ideas for using GIS in the classroom. Please get in touch if you’d like to help out. You’ll need to create a Google account first. I’m looking for ideas for both primary and secondary classrooms. Inspiration of course comes from Tom Barrett’s ‘Interesting Ways to..’ series of presentations, while more generic ideas are being collated in Tony Cassidy’s 101 creatively simple ways to teach Geography.
