ICT in the Humanities and Geography Classroom
I have added a new resource to the MYP Demography > 7 Billion Soon? unit. It is a redevelop of existing resources on geographyalltheway.com. One reason for the redevelopment is to make the lesson easier to run with just a computer/projector and students working with paper/exercise books.
The ‘The Global Population‘ lesson can be found here.

No Comment TV is a YouTube Channel that provides news stories but without any commentary:
‘Welcome to NoComment TV – the Channel for euronews’ unique programme.
At euronews we believe in the intelligence of our viewers and we think that the mission of a news channel is to deliver facts without any opinion or bias, so that the viewers can make their own opinion on world events.
We also think that sometimes images need no explanation or commentary, which is why we created No Comment and now No Comment TV: to show the world from a different angle.’
In my mind this makes them ready to have students add commentaries using either audacity or Windows Movie Maker or similar programme. The following video ‘Coastguards intercepted a boat with African migrants’ would be a good follow up to the Mystery Ghost Ship.
