Time to Rebrand

Like many others at the moment I'm working on how to teach the new A level specs. We have chosen Edexcel's new approach and I am currently working on the Re-branding Places section looking at the Thames Gateway, 2012, Hastings and some as yet undecided rural areas.

For those interested in sharing on this development - I am mostly reading GEOBLOGS new blog http://newedexcelgeography.blogspot.com/ and also discussing in the new edexcel community ning http://newedexcelgeog.ning.com/.

Please feel free to share in the discussions through this forum and share resources. I have a branding awareness PowerPoint starter in my 4 shared area, with thanks from Tom.

Together we can rebrand Geography as the best A level choice (not that it isn't already!!)

More Thinking Images

Thanks to Daniel Mace of Langley Grammar in Slough for 4 more desktop images to stimulate thinking in the classroom ( http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/rob.newstead/DanielMace ). All images are from the Middle East and could lead to quite in-depth discussions of a geopolitical nature. Daniels commentry is also included.

Cheers Daniel

Also thanks to Gazz from SLN group for his suggestion for up to date images at:
