Chris Durbin and
Kate Russell, former Geography Advisers at
Staffordshire County Council, with invaluable support from Andy Holt
and Mark Gee.
Due to to personnel and technical issues this
website will not be updated further, but it will remain live and you will
still be able to access it. The
is still very active and a great place for ideas and
exchange of views.
Thank you to each and every one of you who
has had anything to do with the success of this website - the technical
side, the contributions of resources and ideas, the visitors who have used
the site and to the GA for recognising the site in their awards. It always
was intended to be a collaboration of geographers and a celebration of
geographical education. I think that together we have succeeded! Thank you
all and with very best wishes for the future!

Student protesters and Space a geographical
investigation
Many secondary school students will
aware of the recent protests about university tuition fees and the abolition
of the Educational Maintenance Allowance, and many of them will be directly
affected by the impact of the Government decisions that prompted these
protests. Geography抯 stress on place & space, personal geographies and
topical issues means that an investigation of issues surrounding these
protests is very appropriate for teaching, and very relevant to the
interests of many students.
A one-off lesson at the
start of next term, I hope that you might find the
for classroom use. For further information, or feedback, please email

Earthquake in Haiti
As with previous disasters our thoughts
are with all those affected by the recent earthquake in Haiti and with
those who are providing practical aid. As geographers we deal sensitively
with events like this. Members of the geography community have pulled
together to find information and to create teaching resources. There are
several links on the SLN forum which may help you find some appropriate
materials to use in class.
