Geography in Lismore

Students @lismorecollege look at the live information available now for #StormÉowyn click where you live on the map to see current wind speeds!

Our AS Geography students had a fabulous time for the last two days, completing their sand dune investigation @FieldCentre on the Umbra Nature Reserve. Very rewarding and a fun time had by all! #outdoorlearning @lismorecollege

1/ After increasing tectonic earthquakes over the past few days suggesting magma was rising towards the surface, a new eruption has started this evening in Iceland. x.com/volcaholic1/st…

Many students listen to music while they study, claiming that it helps them focus. But does the research show the opposite...? bit.ly/3vNkvZK

Thoroughly enjoyed the stimulating conversations at the #AICONF in Belfast over lunchtime. I shared how we've been training our pupils on effective use of ChatGPT in their independent study. youtu.be/flcs9RLZY9g?si…

What you already know determines what you are able to learn. Essential information from research by David Ausubel that every teacher or curriculum designer needs to know.

Food for thought for next Wednesday 29th… @NASUWT_NI @NEU_NIreland @INTO_NI @UTU_edu @NAHTNInews #payparityineducation #payup #edutwitterni

I love this revision game of connect 4. This one is for rivers. You can find resources here. Students have to answer the question correctly to place the counter. docs.google.com/document/d/1FW… #geographyteacher

It's Geography Awareness Week! How are you celebrating?

This is an EXCELLENT video for explaining why and how rivers move. A really clear introduction to fluvial geomorphology, especially for KS5 geographers. Perfect for teaching students about braiding, meandering and helicoidal flow. @HillhouseGrady👌🙏👏 youtube.com/watch?v=UBivwx…

@RobboGeog We watch this: youtube.com/watch?v=dzat16… then we go through each of the stages using Hodder master resources and they draw and annotate diagrams of each stage using the great template from @tim_schuring

After a week off for the October break, #geogglebox is back with some great names showing you fantastic landscapes - David Attenborough, Steve Backshall, Julia Bradbury, Ben Fogle and Griff Rhys Jones! JC

Good one for A level Population and the Environment #GeographyTeacher

An enforced week off #geogglebox last week but back with a bang this week. ⬇️📺🌏👀JC

1/ New class, and their first intro to GIS using Survey 123 as a get to know you task. Pupils completed the survey of where they live. We then zoom in on the map to their points & I tell them how GIS is very like Snapmaps (the way they are used to using maps these days).

@LauraFMcConnell We have one in our school.

Does anyone know of any teachers out there with the title Miss McConnell? I have LOADS of stickers saying “I belong to Miss McConnell” that I will happily post to them for free because we go by our first names in my school. I don’t like binning things! #edutwitter
