Welcome to the Higher Geog Blog!

While adding postings to 'Geography : My Place and Yours' over the last few days, I have been working on the idea of having a blog which is aimed specifically at Higher pupils. (Some of the latest postings have been quite 'heavy' and I don't want to to put younger classes off reading 'My Place and Yours'.) So here it is, the infant Higher Geog Blog..... designed specially for you!

I have also converted to an up-graded beta version of Blogger which has a lot of new features. I will be able, for example, to label postings within categories which relate to sections of the course and once the blog is 'up and running', I plan to post links to resources you can download such as PowerPoint presentations used in class and homework assignments. I may even investigate the possibility of some on-line dialogue between us!

The parts of the course on which we are currently focusing are Lithosphere (specifically glaciation - hence the photo which includes some of you scrambling on the lateral moraines of the Gigjokul a couple of weeks ago) and Population. If you have not yet done so, try to read the postings on www.gmpay.blogspot.com for the 24th, 25th and 27th August.
