Key Stage 3 Geography and ICT
What is the relationship between ICT and geography? For example, we could ask about:
- the impact that ICTs have had on what you teach about in geography?
- the reason why you use that software for that topic with that year group?
- how to develop geographical understanding through pupils' use and experience of technology
Come and join us to develop the potential of geography through the use of ICT through this online curriculum making course. You may choose to work through the unit in a linear fashion or you may prefer to select only the parts that are most useful to you by using the course contents menu that you can find below and in the right hand column of each page.

I attended this course in Cambridge and found it a very interesting day. As usual with these things, I found my head buzzing with ideas at the end of the day, but unlike other courses this training has a structured follow-up which will hopefully lead to some of those ideas actually being put into practice back in school.
