Bob Digby’s fieldtrip
Bob Digby is Community Geographer for the Geographical Association, GCSE Principal Examiner and an education consultant and author. He has a particular interest in teaching about London's 2012 Olympics, and has led many fieldtrips to the site with both students and other teachers.
Since Bob wrote his original fieldtrip resources for this website, accessibility to the area has been considerably reduced to allow the site development to proceed. The fieldwork booklet available on this site is therefore an adaptation of the original, taking into account these changes. The fieldtrip follows a route around the Olympic sites to investigate the need for regeneration in East London and the potential impacts of the games.
The resources for Bob's fieldtrip are available to download, and include a starter activity, a fieldwork booklet, guidelines for an investigation write-up, sets of images and some secondary data relating to the sites.
