The first is written by Rob Chambers, a teacher of Geography at St Ivo school in Cambridgeshire. His blog is aimed at students studying GCSE in his department but many of the topics are similar to those we study in Higher. If you start at the posting for October 30th and work forward, you will find a huge amount of material which is relevant to the Hydrosphere unit which we have just started. As well as course notes, there are links to excellent animations, quizzes and activities.
The second blog which you might like to ckeck out is..
This one is the brainchild of Alan Parkinson who is the Head of Geography at King Edward VII (KES) in King's Lynn in Norfolk. Again it is being written to support GCSE students but it contains much which is interesting for any Higher Geography pupils.
Remember that those of us who write blogs may choose to archive our postings in different ways. Check out the 'Blog archive' section on the sidebar to access all previous postings. If, for example, you look at the KES October postings, you will find a huge amount of material about Svalbard.... and it has a connection with Dundee! When Alan and his family visited us in the summer, I introduced him to a friend of mine in Dundee who had just come back from an amazing holiday seeing polar bears in Svalbard. If you read some of the postings for October, you will see that as a result of this meeting, Alan's pupils had some interesting on-line discussions with my Dundee friend who also supplied some stunning photos like this one for Alan's blog.
I have added links to these other blogs on the sidebar so that you can access them easily in future.
