Tweet Treats #8

This is the eighth collection of useful tweets relating to #geography and #geographyteachers. The world of Twitter can be a busy place so I’ve pulled together some tweet treats from the last week or so that are worth having a look at. Tweets are in no particular order.

Tried out Ripple effects from the @geogchat newsletter last week. Interesting ideas here @m_chiles, keen to get this embedded in the future. #teamgeog pic.twitter.com/7gOcjWBTp0

As a school we have a knowledge rich curriculum so we can’t do much creative work. I said to my Yr7 students on top of their self quizzing if they wanted, they could do informative posters, where the best ones will get 100 house points. The response is amazing! #GeographyTeacher pic.twitter.com/eeCOiqXl4x

*Questions for the Answers* This activity is brilliant. Not only does it allow me to see if Ss understand key concepts but also if they can make links. They have really got to THINK. I banned “poor quality questions”. #geographyteacher pic.twitter.com/dLHub7mamd

I’ve tracked down a quite few middle leaders in both DT and Art where their subject has been selected for a ‘Deep dive’ in a recent O inspection. I’ve been keeping some notes on what they have said to me… although these can be used for all subjects. You’re welcome 🙃. pic.twitter.com/DyFU2KQLIg

Expanding our ideas in Y10. Initial strategies about reducing desertification, expanded to how they work, expanded further to how they’re sustainable. Hopefully will help them structure exam questions too. My appalling writing, their ideas/feedback pic.twitter.com/SnNLAXAMWl

*** NEW POST ***
We can stand down – I have finally cracked the question on the purpose of education (or school, anyway).

You are welcome. https://t.co/rsdl46lTaQ

Absolutely LOVED making these. They’re going to be so useful for my y11s who struggle with the retention of key facts/statements. Thank you @missgeog92 for the inspiration #geographyteacher #edutwitter pic.twitter.com/iYbbdIlk8L
