Are you a CCEA teacher who can't do a fieldtrip this year? Then learn how to create a virtual fieldtrip for your Y12 class using ArcGIS in this practical session!
More details to follow soon. #geographyteacher

Any Northern Irish #geographyteacher for GCSE Paper 3 do
• human geog fieldwork
• any non-rivers based physical fieldwork?
I'm looking for egs from those to produce a session on using ArcGIS to conduct virtual fieldtrips. I'll design one for you if you #DonateYourData!
With CCEA having published its proposals for amendments of GCSE and GCE specs, here are some of my initial personal reactions in this thread. Would love to hear what you all think! [Alistair]

🟣Amplify: Using GIS to bring places to life in Geography 🔵
@lcgeography has passion in abundance for GIS! However, in this taster session he only has half an hour to share with you all on the pedagogical use of GIS 😋 @nigeogmeet Sign up for free: ow.ly/jUzv30r0kEB
And the prize for the worst map of the island of Ireland award of the day goes to...
You know it's bad when even a map of Africa map from orange peel does a better job than the on in your publication...
If you want to see if Andy is being a bit melodramatic, or if that light bulb moment really is as stunning as he suggests, check out the learning resources to get your started using #ArcGIS. A great introduction to this amazing #GIS resource, free for all schools.
I'm off to try and pick my jaw up off the floor after finishing this online course. I think I'm going to enjoy my ArcGIS CPD mission indeed. Thanks @geogologue for the tweet that got me into this.

More great sharing from Em. Retrieval practice is a great way to help in the learning process with your students, and questions like this tailored to the CCEA spec are a great resource. Thanks once again, Em!

Our @NuffieldFound @SentinusNI 'How Green?' team have been busy designing local🌳field survey forms & a public 'Green Infrastructure' web survey. The team will decide field data to collect & questions to ask in final forms tomorrow! Watch this (Green) space as we need your help😎
Thanks for sharing this, Rachael!
I've started writing a #SOW for #CCEA #A2, Option D #Tourism - finished changing nature of tourism content. This is a draft so I haven't fully proof read it yet, please excuse mistakes. #geographyteacher #edutwitterNI
