Students today seem to have the learning style where "visual" aids assist them in recalling what was seen. In this light, showing videos after teaching a topic - and again, if it isn't possible to travel - it will cement what was taught and the students will have a deeper appreciation.
The Palisade of Geographic Zen
Geography is a subject most often shied away from. Some argue that it is a science - others say it isn't. What do you think?
If you wish to know more - ask.

Video/Movie Maker
Videos can be used to share with the class information about a specific topic in the event that the entire class cannot make it out on a field trip albeit rain, storm, incapability on the administrative side.

Geographic Wiki
Hello All,
May I direct your attention to a new addition to our Geographic journey to the following wiki (click link below)
Wiki-page
This site will be used as a read-only site with pages containing notes on the classes we have had. Also, it may contain practice questions for exams.
Our blog will continue to function as a place where we can interact on topics we may not have understood whilst in class.
Have fun viewing the wiki.
Kindest Regards,
Mr. H

Use of this blog....
I intend to use this blog as a tool to engage my students after school hours. The example outlined below shows how the students and I would collaborate after school in the event that there was a misunderstanding at the previous class. This interaction would foster reinforcement of the lesson(s) beyond class time and also allow their creativity to shine through.
Whilst in class we spoke on the topic of Vulcanism - Plate-Tectonics. If for some reason you weren't able to understand the operations of the three types of plate margins, refer below to the following graphical explanations.
If you have any further questions, comment on this post and either your classmate or I will respond and help to clarify your queries.
Kindest Regards,
Mr. H
