"GETTING BEYOND CUT AND PASTE"
Using the Internet for study isn't just copy/cut and paste...
You give your students a homework to do and what comes back is a printout from Wikipedia, still with the hyperlinks intact and odd words underlined... How can you get them doing something a little more ?
How can you support your students so that the lesson doesn't end when the lesson ends ?
How can you do this for "my favourite price"....

Geography and Blogging A new resources has just appeared on the Geographical Association website. It's a new online journal called GeogEd. The first item is an article by Phil Wood called Advances in E-Learning: The Case of Blogging in School Geography. This looks at blogging in geography, and name-checks the article I wrote for Teaching Geography in 2004, and then mentions some current Geog Blogs, though sadly not the 'original' GeoBlogs... Fame (ish) at last...
Also refered to SHIFT HAPPENS which you should watch now...
This is an updated version of the original
