Reviews of this course
Kate Russell
(Staffordshire)
I think this course is excellent; it is great because it pulls together lots of ideas and activities which have been developing for some time, using current and up to date resources.
It is very readable - I like the personal touches - the tutor using the first person and personal experiences - hopefuly teachers will also do this in the classroom!
It is non-threatening to beginners and will enable the more experienced to go a bit further.
Please have a look at some useful images on http://www.sln.org.uk/geography/Images.htm
Thank you very much for putting this course together.
