Comparing localities by email exchange of information
http://www.ictadvice.org.uk/index.php?section=tl&cat=001002004&rid=4878 Comparing localities by email exchange of information This project was carried out by Year 7 pupils in a Bristol school. The school has developed email links with pupils in a school in Brisbane, Australia. All pupils were allocated an e-pal in the partner school and the relationships are to be developed over the pupils?five years at the school. The geography departments of the two schools have developed a unit of work about their local areas. The pupils create a word-processed account of their local area and include a labelled digital image. |

Contrasting Locations - General

Investigating a Contrasting UK Locality
http://www.tonypickford.btinternet.co.uk/gg/contuk.html An appropriate use of ICT in the area of information handling is the analysis of data gathered from questionnaires. As well as surveys in the school locality, questionnaires can be used as part of contrasting locality studies, particularly as a way of developing a link with a school in a contrasting UK locality. |

A contrasting UK locality - Llandudno
http://www.standards.dfee.gov.uk/schemes/geography/geo13?version=1 This is a 'long' unit in which children study a locality in the UK that contrasts with their own area. This unit is based around a residential fieldtrip to Llandudno because the school that devised it organises a regular school trip there. However, most of the teaching ideas could be applied to any locality. In addition to the specific links indicated in the points to note section, residential fieldwork offers many opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Guidance on how to link the Geography Scheme of Work with other areas of the curriculum can be found in the section about Links with other areas of the curriculum. This particular unit offers links to literacy, mathematics, speaking and listening, environmental education and the world of work. |
