Just for information really - I used to have a moodle installation on geographyalltheway.com. I have closed it down and have moved it to istgeography.net - my school geography department website.
I will hopefully be developing it’s content later in the academic year.
Again I’m a little late in getting this post sorted. I didn’t manage to write this post last week which was a little disappointment. Is was mainly due to me being rather tired and behind after an excellent weekend spent trekking in the Pyrenees - more about that here.
Students will prepare for ‘The Great Wind Farm Debate‘ - using the information provided by Talking Heads, Google Earth overlays and delicious bookmarks.
During Curriculum Extension activities today I had my group drawing with the Geography Departments GPS units. This was the best of the bunch - produced by a boy in Year 8 - which I thought was great!
I have been playing with my GPS and the school’s new GPS-USB cable, Google Earth and the GPS Visualizer website. The image above and the .kmz file below shows our descent from Refuge du Rulhe which I wrote about here. A mixture of outdoor adventure and gadgets - perfect!
The competition is open to everybody - the winner being chosen from all the correct answers received. The winner receives a unique certificate via email.
It’s Tuesday and I’m still a little tired from an excellent weekend spent in the Pyrenees. I spent the weekend with 16 friends and colleagues from IST walking in the area around the Refuge du Rulhe (2185 metres). On Saturday we walked up to the refuge dumped any extra kit and then climbed Pic du Rulhe (2783 metres). After spending a fun night in the refuge we walked back to the valley via the Crête des Isards.
All the photos below are from my flickr account. A few more can be seen on flickr.
I hope to add a Google Earth file of the route over the next couple of days.
