    This was the first resource I came across after Googling the title I've written above. I took the advice in the learning path in selecting my subject for my unit plan (to pick a weaker teaching area in order to strengthen it) and this resource has helped me immeasurably! It provides focus questions, PDF and video samples, as well as providing additional links surrounding developing geographical thinking and communication skills and understanding geography teaching in terms of pedagogical practices. All in all, a good find!

    I found this webpage very helpful in showing teachers how to have a strong PCK when teaching Geography.

    This is aimed at kids with dyslexia but I don't think it would matter either way. There are some creative and fun ways to learn sight words.

Learning styles yes or no?

    An interesting read, science against individual learning styles in schools. I was quite surprised to read this article, I think looking at ICTs it is relevant to share. I would love to hear some other thoughts on this. I believe the use of ICT within the classroom helps us to time and cost efficiently and effectively deliver a multiliterate pedagogy and curriculum which supports individual learning styles. Surely if we can create a classroom that is multiliterate including ICT to support and enhance learning we are able to meet the learning styles of all learners? Would love to hear your thoughts on this. onlinestudymummy

    This is something worth reading! Have you considered the long term effects of WIFI in the classroom on student health? Or maybe your childrens health? Watch the Video and be informed. As teachers we have a moral obligation to ensure the safety of students.

    You may also wish to explore a little further on this issue, rather than just rely on a single source. Teachers also have an obligation to be fully informed.

    WIFI - The uncontrolled global experiment on the health of mankind There are little to no studies of the long-term effects of EMFs and on a developing brains, which are physiologically more vulnerable than the adult brain for a number of reasons. With WIFI being a relatively recent technology, there is a gap in the literature addressing longitudinal studies of EMF and children. If you wish to view a recent peer reviewed study assessing just the short-term effects you may read Kuzniar et al. (2017). As we know, in our current metropolitan environment we are exposed to EMFs constantly. Markov and Grigoriev (2013) have clearly addressed some of the ethical and political issues arising from the use of WIFI technology and the unregulated global approach and safety guidelines. Grigoriev has explored this with a number of peer-reviewed studies. One that I found interesting was his article "Cellular communications and public health, 2012". From what I have read, there seems to be a consensus in the scientific community that this is an area for further research as conclusive results of the long-term effects of EMF on children cannot be found. Further reading is included below (apologies for inconsistent referencing style): Grigoriev & Markov (2013) Wi-Fi technology - an uncontrolled global experiment on the health of mankind: http://dx.doi.org/10.3109/15368378.2013.776430 Kuzinar et al.

    Thank you for sharing I watched the video and it certainly illuminates some serious concerns not only in schools but also in our homes. I will now be looking at where our wifi unit will be situated and taking a closer look at our homes technologicial set up. This is very important to share and my children will be taking a look at this video later today. I have also read about some experiments students have done at school with a living plant that they placed near the computer and Wi-Fi as a science experiment I will see if I can find the link. I agree it is also important to research such a topic to get a broader scope of the situation. Regards Faye U1069753

    Thanks for your input Faye, The intent of my original post was not to create hysteria but to encourage critical thinking, as National Government institutions can be slow to respond to new global research...especially when it may challenge our current 'comfortable' way of life and assumptions. Cheers, u1070429

    Thank you for sharing this information. My thoughts are an education in civilised countries can't function without these devices. Children response to technology than any other educational diverse. There are more positive than negative. Using technology in the 21st century is helping our kids engage in the classroom, and our children need these devices to function in their learning to become capable and able students in future. I work in a school setting where the majority of the student's complete task using computer and iPad. We as teachers need these devices to function properly in our role as educators. Technology is fun, engaging and reliable to some extent, these methods over the years have help to improve our student outcome. Thanks, Joy

    There are so many great ways to use this ICT tool and this Padlet outlines some of these ideas.

    This is awesome, I used Padlet in the classroom during the first week of my ICT prac and it worked like a charm. After each session I taught, the students had to think of something they learnt in the lessons I taught and add their note on the wall under the relevant topic. We even completed a get to know me Padlet wall and some of the notes were so sweet. I have my mentor interested in Padlet now and she is going to look into how she can incorporate it into her classroom. So thankyou for this amazing share.
