The new ENGAGING PLACES website is now live.
A new initiative launched today will help every school exploit 'the world's biggest teaching resource'. Developed by CABE and English Heritage, Engaging Places will champion teaching and learning through the whole built environment and aims to become the most comprehensive guide ever created to help schools teach by using the buildings and places around them.
There is a GEOGRAPHICAL ASSOCIATION area on the website, with links to areas such as the PLACES PEOPLE WANT resource.
The Engaging Places website is launched at BETT: Stand G93 - will pop over to see it on Friday when I'm there.
If you would like to meet up at BETT, e-mail me or Twitter DM (GeoBlogs) before Thursday night. Will be around on Fri pm, and at Teachmeet, then on the Geographical Association stand W51-3 on Saturday
I'll bring a limited number of the famous GeographyPages pens with me too...
Check out the GEOGRAPHICAL ASSOCIATION section of Engaging Places where you'll see mention of a session that I'm involved in in Hull next week.
A related resource is the WHAT WAS HERE website, which displays 1000 years of Liverpool's history on a special Google Map with a timeline feature...
