SECTION 1: COLLECTIONS OF GEOGRAPHY LINKS
GEOGRAPHY LEARN ON THE INTERNET is undergoing a redesign for 2008 - some interesting work being done by Anthony B - one of the Internet geography pioneers, along with the 2 Dave Rs and myself....
Try Dave Rayner's excellent and seminal GEORESOURCES. This has been extended recently, and has some useful links, plus some good sets of photos. Recently added some photos of NE England and Canadian Glacial features. Recommended.
Try the Scottish site: SCALLOWAY. This has plenty of Human and Physical Geography information, including the chance to look at past exam questions, and download information sheets on themes such as Aid. Recommended.
Try the SPARTACUS portal. This has a webguide featuring hundreds of links for most subject areas. Try past issues of their newsletter (Geography area had the good taste to feature GeographyPages years ago) HERE. they also have the service: EDUCATION ON THE INTERNET.
Try the site of RADLEY COLLEGE in Oxford. Plenty of meteorology information.
Another subscription site is GEOPROJECTS Ltd., which is based at North Walsham in Norfolk. This has some very useful material, produced by Arthur Jones. THE place to visit for Travel and Tourism resources - also some nice Geography articles written by, er, .... me !
Check
out the new site of HIGH ARCAL school: GEOGRAPHY HELP.
Click the logo to visit and especially check out the AS / A2 materials.
SECTION 2: COLLECTIONS OF TEACHER ADVICE AND INFORMATION
Try KAY's 'AS' GEOGRAPHY PAGE which has details for the WJEC course, and has notes as well as textbook reviews. The best feature of this site though is the nice clear layout and excellent lists of links all clearly organised and available from the left hand column of home page. Some good information on preparing for exams and the meanings of command words. Even has advice on filling in UCAS forms, and sensibly links to GeographyPages. Recommended.
AVERY HILL. You may not remember the syllabus or books. The site has plenty to offer all geographers, even those not doing Avery Hill. Some good stuff to link to as well. Some good aerial images of Humberside, including Spurn Point for coastal studies, and links for the various areas covered by the syllabus. I remember sitting up in the library at Hull University trying to write an assignment and staring over towards the Humber Bridge instead. I still got my distinction....
The North East Lincolnshire LIGHTHOUSE FOR EDUCATION has lots of general assistance for busy teachers, and has the chance to do some safe searching and find free clip art.
Contacted in November 2007 by Dr Hobart King from Mansfield University in Pennsylvania. He told me of 2 collections of online reference maps and Landsat images related principally to the USA, which can be seen HERE, and a second collection of over 160 country maps paired withh Landsat images which have been popular reference maps and can be seen HERE.
SECTION 3: OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION SITES
Try also KENT EDUCATION AUTHORITY. They have some useful links, particularly on the theme of human use of Coastal areas.
GLOBAL DIMENSION : Bringing the World to the classroom is the promise.
Just been to S-COOL to find that it's been updated to include AS and A2 notes. They are a little GCSE like in places, but for the hard-pressed student they're well worth a visit, and my students like using them. Recommended.
Head over to the Northern Ireland based GEOGRAPHY IN ACTION put together by Stephen Roulston. This has been nicely designed and has some very useful content even for those outside of Northern Ireland. These include some information on landscapes in the area, plus a focus on an area of sand dunes. There are also several pages of excellent images which can be used in an educational context: with a suitable credit of course, and also useful materials on Belfast's redevelopment.
